Each year an unstated tradition is fulfilled.
President Jay Kesler presents a message, in
which A Great Cloud of Witnesses, taken from
Heb. 12:1, is his topic. He often speaks of
Grace Olson and Don Odle. Of Thaddeus
Reade and John Wengatz. These are the people
who Jay claims have made an impressionable
mark on Taylor, who have helped this univer-
sity to become what it now is. This year, the
Taylor community would like to add a new
name to that roster — the name of he who orig-
inated the list, Jay Kesler.

Ending a 15-year reign as Taylor's guiding
force, Kesler will put aside his president's hat

ry of Taylor education, a sense of nostalgia is
incorporated with the fact that this year we
entered the 2 1 st century.

With that, we saw the change of 80s Night
into 90s. The final Christmas with Jay was
held. And Jay was, rightly, a part of Nostalgia
Night this year. Plus, the 1996 freshman class,
ushered into Taylor as the class entering dur-
ing the sesquicentennial celebration, will leave
with Jay still at its helm as it becomes the
class of 2000.

As part of the
"Post War

Generation," Milo
A. Rediger became
one of the most
influential people at Taylor University. Over
five decades, Rediger held various roles,
including instructor of philosophy and reli-
gion, dean of students, academic dean and
president.

of witnesses

Prior
to be-
coming
the 24th
presi-
dent of
Taylor

in 1965, Rediger had already exerted great
influence. As a way of improving the school,
he wanted to develop the academic program.
While he was a student at Taylor, Rediger had
always felt as if students did not feel com-
fortable raising certain questions, nor did he
believe professors were willing to discuss
issues that challenged Christianity. After
becoming president, he tried to create an
environment where "all truth is God's truth,
and the Christian does not fear it— nor is he
afraid of where it will lead him."

After World War II, Rediger helped Taylor
recoup from the aftermath of the war. He was
very dedicated to creating a type of environ-
ment where students and faculty could feel
both academically and spiritually challenged.

— a touching testimony —

his life story with the members of the
Taylor community as he addresses
them for the first time on March 13.
Gyertson was chosen to follow Jay
Kesler as president.

Singing

Freshmen Nicole Schuiz, Kerry
Peifer and Rachel Rosencrance clap
along with the music in chapel on
March 22. Many students men-
tioned "worship" as their favorite part
of chapel.

The following are interviews with campus pastor assistants Cindy
Norman and Chad Wilt, both seniors. The other two assistants
are Missy Chamberliss and Andrew Draper, also seniors.

ilium: In your opinion, what are the highlights from chapel this
year?

Cindy: Working with a new campus pastor and working with the
variety of worship team people. Also, being accessible and being a
mediator for the student body.

Cliad: The spirit and enthusiasm that Dr. Farmer has brought with
his sense of refreshment.

ilium: How is this year's chapel program different from other
years?

Cindy: There is a difference. I don't know how I can express it in
words, though. Maybe the students take more ownership this year.
ilium: How have the Sunday night services affected the Taylor
community?

Cindy: I think it has been a huge success, which I was not antici-
pating. It is so much more accessible to the students. We weren't
sure if people would come, but we found that people will make
time to worship, because there's that hunger and that thirst.
Chad: I think it's given them a greater sense of community.
Sunday morning services were kind of a show, like trying to be
church.

ilium: What was your personal highlight of the year, being a cam-
pus pastor assistant?

Chad: Being taken out of my comfort zone, but it's been good for
me to gain a different perspective of worship. I've learned a lot
about other people.

"Yeah, he's really getting a kick out of this, telling us what to do. But
he'll pay us back over the holidays by helping out at our store."

"The longer I have been away from home, the more I
appreciate my parents, and getting to spend time with
them is fun," says junior Tara Hodapp, whose parents
came from Pewaukee, Wisconsin, to visit her.
Although Tara's parents have come for Parents'
Weekend all three of her years at Taylor, this year they
brought one of her brothers along — to visit Butler
University in Indianapolis.

So, Tara really treasured the time when her parents
were on campus for the collage concert, the Sunday
morning worship service and to meet her professors.
Tara says, "It was really good to have them meet my
profs. So, now they can know who I'm talking about
when I call home."

Parents' Weekend, October 29-31, drew hundreds of
parents to Taylor's campus to experience a variety of
activities put on by the university. The first event was
the collage concert, during which individual faculty
and students and music department groups, such as
Gospel Choir, University Chorus and the jazz band,
performed.

Saturday events began for some families at a 7:30
a.m. breakfast which was followed by devotions led by
Dean of Chapel Richard Allen Farmer at 9 a.m. The
rest of the day was open for visits with professors,
trips to the general store, open house in dorms and a
football game against Olivet Nazarene.

That night, there was a Harvest Buffet banquet and a
concert with Ken Medema. Jay Kesler spoke at two
Sunday morning worship services. The early service
was contemporary and the late was traditional. Taylor
Sounds and the chorale performed during the second.
And a brunch signified the end of the weekend and
sent parents on their ways home.
Summing up the weekend's importance, Tara says, "I
think that I've really become friends with my parents
since I've been at Taylor, and I realize how important
our relationship is to me."

"The Real World Upland" premiered on Taylor's campus
at 8:15 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 7. The Airband theme was
carried out the entire night with clips of Taylor student
"Real World" stars "getting [more] real" as the show pro-
gressed. Jerod Cornelius, president of Interclass Council,
which puts on the annual event, talks about the inception of
"The Real World" idea saying, "We just kinda brain-
stormed a bunch of ideas. Then someone mentioned 'The
Real World,' and we just ran with it from there. We thought
it'd be fun to do that. It'd also be easy to apply to campus."
And so they did. But pulling it all together wasn't as easy
as the presentation of it looked. Cornelius describes this
saying, "We had four or five different committees in charge
of different aspects of Airband — the longest being the
video aspect of it. We were assisted in the process by TCS
[Taylor Cable System] with many hours of editing." But
when it came down to it, Cornelius says, "I think it went
over pretty well. I've gotten positive feedback from most
people. And I think people loved the video aspect of it."

About the competition segment of the night, the winning
groups of the lip syncing/dancing contest included First
East Wengatz in third place, perfonning "Madame
Librarian" from the Music Man. The Backstreet Boys'
group won second performing a combination of "Back
Street's Back" and "It's Gotta be You." But the Upland
Community Dance Troop drew in the first-place votes.

The all senior UCDT, consisting of current Third West
Wengatz guys and off-campus girls formerly residing on
Third East Olson, performed "Praise You." The group con-
sisted of Justin Berger, Eric Davis, Lora Erickson, Kevin
Flaherty, Wes Gaines, Phil Gallagher, Lindsay Marcy, Josh
McMullen, Ben Miller, Mark Mohrlang,
Cindy Norman, Jayson Palm, Ruth
Seward, Tiffany Sutton, Sarah West,
Stephanie White and Leslie Wood.

The night ended with a farewell song
from Roger Raybum and a presentation to
him for his three-and-a-half years of ser-
vice to Taylor in the roles of campus safety
officer and, most recently, sound engineer.

homecoming 1999

An estimated 2,500 alumni and friends returned to Taylor for this year's Homecoming, Oct. 8-
10. Even though the weather was rainy and temperatures were chilly, Marty Songer, director of
alumni relations, says, "It was a great weekend."

Songer adds, "Despite the crummy weather, the Taylor spirit just came through . . . people were
out pushing their kids in strollers in the rain. They found ways to connect with each other."

The alumni brunch was the highlight of the weekend, according to Songer. She enjoyed seeing
"the spirits of those who were given awards and how God is working in their lives."

The student co-chairs for the event were seniors Angle Reed and Joel Gates. Songer says, "We
had so much fun working together."

For the Homecoming football game, Taylor played St. Xavier College. The bad weather did not
stop the crowds from coming, and Taylor beat St. Xavier, 7-3.

the moultons
family

love and marriage

and little Hannah

The college experiences of seniors James and Stephanie
Moulton have been a little different than those of most stu-
dents. After an early marriage, the Moultons, both full-time
students, were expecting their first child during the summer
before their senior year.

Baby Hannah Marie was bom on Stephanie's birthday,
June 3, 1999. Stephanie says, "Having a baby has completely
transformed our lives, our marriage, everything."

Being parents during their senior years was not originally
what the Moultons had expected. Stephanie says, "Children
weren't an immediate plan for us. I wanted to maybe get a
PhD, help with a ministry, just get involved." With a smile,
she adds, "Hannah is probably an only child for as long as
God allows it. "

The Moulton family story started during their freshman
year when James' friends encouraged him to ask Stephanie
out. They started dating soon after. As James launches into
the animated account, Stephanie says, "Not really daring, I
mean, we didn't kiss for, like three months."

"We were dating," James insists. "We just didn't tell peo-
ple that we were." The story continues.

During their sophomore year, James traveled to Australia
on a Lighthouse trip. When he returned, he felt that God
wanted them to be married soon. Through a series of strug-
gling and questioning, the two reached the decision that, for
both financial and romantic reasons, things would work out
better if they were married immediately rather than wait for
the summer. Stephanie says, "We talked to a lot of people.
We talked to my parents about it and to our pastor."

The intended result was to get married right away ("just on
paper," Stephanie says), then wait until a ceremony during
the summer to actually call themselves married. But,
Stephanie says, "After we did it, we realized it was ival." It
wasn't long before the Moultons had moved off campus and

decided that they were, after all, married. A prominently dis-
played picture of Stephanie in a white dress with a long train
and James in a tuxedo is proof that the two did have a formal
ceremony later. James says, "It was good; we really needed
to do it."

Life was adjusted again when the Moultons discovered that
Stephanie was pregnant. The easy solution seemed to be for
one of them to quit school and stay at home with the baby.
But education is very important to the Moultons, and they
decided to try to stay in school and take care of Hannah.

Because Stephanie and James are not "traditional" stti-
dents, it is hard for them to feel like they are a part of student
life. James, who works at Cracker Barrel 25 hours per week,
says, "I think there's a lot that we don't have in common
with other students, but it's not that we can't relate. I under-
stand guys doing weird things in the middle of the night."

Stephanie adds, "Last year, it was fun to be married and
different. This year, I've wanted to get involved again."

Early fall semester, the Moultons are settling into the rou-
tine of being students and parents. James comments that the
adjustment was, at first, "really, really hard." He says, "For
the first few weeks, it was a big event if we got a shower."'

Because the Moultons share the same major, most of their
classes are together, so there is a lot of necessary childcare.
Stephanie said, "Our friends have been wonderful. Hannah is
watched entirely by sttidents — some paid, some not.""

Though the Moultons live a more difficult life than most
students, the young family seems to be doing well. Hannah
gurgles and kicks her tiny legs. Everyone is relaxed and smil-
ing. Thinking back causes some laughs, as well as some pain.
Through it all, Sundays keep the Moultons going. James
says, "We hope for Sundays to be a time when God will pull
us out of what we're doing and give us a focus." Stephanie
smiles at her husband, nods and says, "That's our prayer."

ExplSinlng it to the outside world Is nearly Impossible,
but for Taylor students, the annual Taylathon means a dose of healthy
competition between the classes. Each team, consisting of men and
women, bike and trike around a portion of the loop. The juniors were
victorious with Ben Canida and Jeff DeKruyter leading most of the
way. "We're pretty tough," commented junior team captain Mike Paull
before the race. "We're the fastest by far. We're pretty smooth... ."
The confidence of the juniors proved true, but not without a price to
pay. DeKruyter's bike was Involved In an accident on the third turn
leaving him slightly injured, but still able to help the juniors cross the
finish line first.

For the freshmen, Taylathon meant a few minor problems
along the way, but ultimately a rewarding experience. "We've had a
lot of bike problems while practicing, people taking our bikes... but
we're doing pretty well," freshman Joe Wllhelml said. Despite their
fourth place finish, the freshmen now loaded with experience are pre-
pared to compete in Taylathon 2001.

Taylathon is more than just a bike-and-trike race. It's about
pride; It's a tradition unique to Taylor University. The annual
Taylathon means weeks of 6 a.m. practices, possible Injuries and a
culmination of the Taylor community on a beautiful day in May.

a world away

On a scale from one to 10, Heidi Harbin ranked her trip to
Italy a 10. Leaving for Orvieto, Italy, on Sept. 5, Heidi
began her semester-long experience with a flight to Boston,
where she met up with the rest of her group to continue her
trip of approximately 20 hours.

While there, Heidi experienced the art education aspect of
the trip, as well as the culture. Heidi thinks back to all that
she did from September to December — the restoration work
done on the convent {where she lived those three-and-a-half
months), the painting. Renaissance and Italian classes and
the time spent outside the convent especially.

Outside the school walls, Heidi "hung out a lot at the
cafe." She explains that she had "at least one coffee break a
day, if not more." She recalls the Full Moon Festivals, dur-
ing which the students would join the townspeople in going
to the park with blankets and refreshments. And Heidi also
found a new appreciation for the church. Regularly attend-
ing San Giovanale, a church that was a five-minute walk
away, she realized that "[the church is] larger than just the
modem evangelical movement."

While there, Heidi toured parts of the country, including
Florence, Milan, Padua, Rome, Sienna and Venice — her
favorite being Sienna. But Heidi loved just hiking around
the Orvieto area. She spoke of a monastery with gardens
around it that she frequented. With that, Heidi claims, "My
favorite part was just being in the beautiful culture with 20
friends."

About the students she got to know on the trip, Heidi con-
siders five of them close friends. One student is Sara Odam,

a sophomore at Taylor. The other students are from Gordon, Messiah and Westmont.
Sara and Heidi visited about 15 of their first semester friends at Messiah and Gordon
on their way to Boston for spring break. All of the students in the program were art
students, except for two.

Heidi initially chose the trip for the location and course load. She says, "I always
wanted to travel. And I always thought Italy sounded like an amazing place. Also, I
wanted to have an intensively art semester. And I got that."

That's not all she got. Heidi also came back with scores of nun stories. And Sister
Palma, who Heidi affectionately calls "Crazy Nun Palma," is who she speaks of the
most. Heidi tells how "Palma loved to use the two English words she knew, 'hello'
and 'goodbye,' and how "she seemed like a sweet old lady, but she really did plumb-
ing, and you'd always see her with tools." According to Heidi, this same sister
taught five from the group to knit.

Aside from the people, the culture and the art, Heidi gained a new understanding
for "appreciating each moment fully." She said she "learned [this] because of the
time spent on the mundane things, like walking around and sitting down. Those are
some of my most wonderful memories." And Heidi insists, "Everyone should take
advantage of a semester overseas. It's the best opportunity to experience another
country. And it's fun!"

A unique SAC event. Stupid Human Tricks, was held on March 16
during dinner at the dining commons. The DC was unusually filled with
students of all ages, including off-campus seniors who ate there simply
to experience the event.

Senior Laura Pedemonti said, "I just wanted to go and support my
roommate with her walking-on-her-hands trick." And it was fruitful for
the Briarwood 2 J apartment dwellers to attend — for one of Pedemonti 's
roommates, Jana Hunt, won the third place prize of two yo-yos for walk-
ing on her hands.
About the event's inception, Vinnie Manganello, who emceed the night,
said, "We just wanted to interject some life into the DC, making it a
pleasant dining experience for all patrons."

The first and second place prizes were a pair of walkie talkies and a
frisbee, respectively. The grand prize winner was J.R. Briggs for his
chair-on-chin balancing act. Second place went to John Wachtmann, who
performed a feat of dexterity by wrapping his anns around his head.

Looking back, Manganello said, "I think [the Stupid Human Tricks
event] went really well. The crowd was pretty into it, and we got some
pretty sound acts."

erin syswerda
model

the light

at the end of tne runway

With her 21 -inch long, straight blond hair wrestling its
way to the ground, attempting proportion to her lean, 6-
foot-tall body, the fact that she is a model is not hard to
believe. But for Erin Syswerda, her lifelong dream of
being a runway queen is not something she commonly
discusses.

"I don"t think it's that big of a deal." Having modeled
since the age of 15, Erin says runway modeling comes
naturally to her. "It just feels like I'm in my element. For
me, it's really easy."

Erin's naturalness on the runway is not the only reason
she plans to pursue modeling professionally after gradua-
tion. Mostly, Erin doesn't want to have regrets. She says,
"Even if it only turns into a small career, it's something
that I feel I'll always kick myself for if I don't do it. "
She adds, "I'd rather get a flat out 'no' rather than won-
der when I'm 40 if I could have done it when I was 22."

However, Erin says that she is willing to forego the
immediate revenue of New York to escape the harsh
entry into modeling that the Big Apple would eagerly
supply. That's why she went to Nashville during the
summer of 1999 — to initiate herself to the modeling
world there. Erin says she started in Nashville because
"it's a lot nicer than New York. '

Now back at Taylor for her senior year, and her parents
at home in Michigan, Erin reminisces about the
Nashville trip saying, "My parents had always supported
me, but they never really encouraged me in it until this
summer." Looking back further, she remembers being
allowed to model (at home) at an early age,
explaining,"rd always dress up in my mom's clothes and
stuff, and pretend I was something. "

Without charm school lessons, Erin now looks to make
that "something " a runway model. Having modeled pri-
marily in bridal gowns, Erin relies on that experience as
an indication of the modeling world at large. From that,
she knows that a model's attitude changes with different
music and each dress. It might also change as the day
grows long.

At the Notre Dame bridal shows, which she does each
year, Erin typically wears four different dresses during
each of the four shows repeated that day. Commenting
about the backstage pace, she says, "You definitely can't
sit down and take a few naps. But [the quick changes
before returning to the runway] help energize you."

The former Miss Blueberry for her hometown, Erin
says she is now energized by daily exercise and a healthy
diet. Many may have seen her race walking around cam-
pus. And close friends know that she watches what she
eats "for the most part," although she considers "mac
and cheese" her "staple food when [she's] feeling sad."
Erin adds that she's "a big fan of ice cream — Breyers'
cookies and cream." Yet she admits, "I watch [indulging]
for the most part. But I let myself have dessert at least
once a week."

Still, Erin thinks it's worth it. She says, "It gives you
such a boost of confidence, to be something that people
look at and are admiring." But she does not speak of
only the positive aspects of the modeling world. Erin is
leery of becoming fixated on her body size and image.
She admits, "I would have to pray a lot for strength —
being surrounding by it every day." But Erin encourages
herself with the thought that she could "be a light to
these people, a breath of fresh air."

how it h^)pens

Everyone appreciates the hard work that actors, actresses and directors put
into malcing a Taylor theatre production happen. But what really happens
behind the scenes? The Ilium staff decided to find out.

hammer and nail

Cory Rodeheaver, shop technician
ilium: What is your official title?

cory: This year, Fm the shop technician, but next year I'll be the techni-
cal director. Right now, I'm in charge of doing the actual building for
what we are doing, and I supervise all the students who are working on
the set. Next year, I'll be overseeing students in other areas, too.
ilium: What kind of hours do you work?

cory: It depends on the show and schedule. Usually I'm here all during
the day, but students come in the evening, so I come back in then. The
job takes lots of hours. The final week before production, you're putting
in close to 80 to 100 hours.

ilium: What is the biggest challenge for a set this year?
cory: "Alice in Wonderland" was somewhat complex, because we were
using the three turntables. Each show has its own challenges, though,
so I can't really say one is more challenging than the other. Every
show is different; every show we do something that I've never done
before.

sew-sew

Johannah Graves, costumes chair
ilium: What does your job entail?
johannah: I work with the director to
decide who will wear what. For this play
["Marvin's Room"] the assistant directors
had a really good idea of what they wanted.
ilium: How many hours does this all take?
johannah: It depends on the show. This
play ["Marvin's Room"] was really easy. It
took maybe two hours total. But for the last
play ["Alice in Wonderland"], I was work-
ing for between six and eight hours a day.
ilium: What is the most challenging cos-
tume you have worked on?
johannah: Last year, I had to put together a
really fancy wedding dress for a ball gown.
And the animal costumes were really chal-
lenging for "Alice in Wonderland."

before.

put your best face
forward

David Cruse, prop master
ilium: What show did you work on?
david: I worked on "Marvin's Room."
ilium: What did your job entail?

david: It entailed pretty much [work]. I was given a list of necessary
props, so I had to put together whatever I thought was appropriate ...
I did a lot of shopping. I went out every day getting stuff.
ilium: How big was your crew?
david: There were six, including me.

ilium: How much time did you spend getting props ready before the
show?

david: I would get there about two hours before [it started] to
rearrange everything, because we always left everything like it was
after the show was over.
ilium: What was your biggest challenge?

david: Probably all the set changes, because we had to take every-
thing completely off the stage. I was moving big things, like beds.

Junior Noel Randal puts a
few touches on one of the

Katye Bennett, co-chair of makeup
ilium: Which play did you work on?

katye: For "Alice in Wonderland," I was makeup co-chair and in charge of
hair. For "Marvin's Room," I was an assistant director.
ilium: What is your favorite part of the job?

katye: Just the interaction with everyone and getting to watch it [the play]
develop. It's great to know you had a part in getting it to work.
ilium: How much time does the job take?

katye: We usually start by the tech day, at the latest. We go through a pre-
liminary run of make-up and hair for each character
ilium: How about before the actual shows?

katye: It was such a huge cast. I had to start at, like, four in the afternoon
and still was barely done in time.
ilium: What was the biggest challenge this year?

katye: Figuring out how the makeup was going to be done. We were able
to teach most of the characters to do their own makeup. Also, just the
nature of "Alice in Wonderland." There are so many animals.

David C. Dickey

February 1946 — March 2000

David Dickey, director of Taylor's Zondervan
Libraiy, was reported missing on Sunday, March
19. by his wife. Barbara. A professor of music at
Taylor, Barbara called the police after her hus-
band did not return from a church conference in
Indianapolis.

Four days later, Dickey's body was found by
fishermen in Geist Reservoir. His car had been
found the day before in a church parking lot
three miles away.

The Taylor community was alerted to the situa-
tion by a campus-wide e-mail when Dickey was
still labeled "missing." His ftineral was held on
March 28 at First Presbyterian Church in Muncie

where both of the Dickeys served as elders. A
memorial service was held at Taylor on Friday,
April 7. during chapel.

President Jay Kesler, Dwight Jessup, vice pres-
ident of academic affairs, and Laurie Wolcott
spoke during the chapel service. Wolcott began
serving as interim library director upon Dickey's
death.

Dickey began working in the Zondervan
Library in 1 972, seven years after graduating
from Taylor. He was a founder of the Upland
Historical Society and a leader in the Private
Academic Library Network of Indiana (PALNI).

I first met David Dickey when I came to Taylor in
1967. David had completed his degree in library sci-
ence and was working in another college library.
However, he loved theatre and had a special relation-
ship with Mrs. Greathouse, head of Taylor's speech
and drama department. Mrs. G, as everyone called her,
had hired David to work on set constmction. At that
time, theatre productions were done in the Helena
Building, and sets were built in the basement of MCW
[Magee-Campbell-Wisconsin dormitory]. The first
time I saw David, he was on the floor building a flat
for Mrs. G's upcoming production of "Tartuffe. " His
interest in theatre did not end with building sets. He
attended every Taylor theatre production and always
had insightful and supportive comments to offer actors
and directors. Attending a professional theatre event
with David was an unforgettable experience. If it was
a comedy, no one laughed more delightedly than
David. If it was a serious drama, David was enthralled.
and his responses were infectious.

Throughout his life, David had a \ariely of interests.
but most of them stemmed either from his kne of the
arts or his love of libraries. He was an excellent pho-
tographer. One photography project which he complet-
ed some time ago involved taking slides of all the
courthouses in Indiana and developing a lecture about
the unique architecture of these structures. He also
made an extremely complete photographic record of
Zondervan Library from the time of the groundbreak-
ing to the dedication of the completed building.

Film was another interest David had. He developed
and taught an honors film course. He attended films
regularly and kept up with the latest trends in cinema.
At the same time, he knew a great deal about film his-
tory and appreciated classic Hollywood cinema, as
well as films from many other countries. Going to see
a film with David and Barbara was always an intcllcc-

In Memoriam

tually and aesthetically stimulating experience.

For more than a decade, David had the responsibility
of booking the Performing Artist Series for Taylor
University. His commitment to the series was often
demonstrated in his ceaseless efforts to create and sus-
tain interest in the quality programs he booked. He
was especially delighted by the opportunity to meet
and entertain artists from different countries and larger
metropolitan areas.

David was an engaging conversationalist who was
able to interact comfortably with a wide spectrum of
people. His enthusiasm and energy often seemed
boundless. He had a unique gift for caring and com-
passion. He understood that love was not something
you said but something you did. David lived out the
implications of caring for a wide variety of people
from different walks of life who had different needs. If
they needed a pie, David baked one. If they needed
transportation, David drove them to their destinations.
If they needed a cataloguer to help them organize a
library, David volunteered his services. If they needed
conversation. David visited them. He met people
where they were and ministered to them at the point of
their greatest needs.

David was "a librarian's librarian. He was never
too busy to stop and answer any question a faculty
member or student posed. His love of trivia was an
in\ aluable mental resource. It often seemed that there
was no topic under the sun that David had not read
about, and he always knew how to help you find the
information you required. He loved books both for
themselves and for their contents, and his lo\ e was
contagious.

Zondervan Library will never be the same with
David gone. We miss you. Da\ id. and pray that light
perpetual shines upon you.
— Jessica Roiissclou: professor of coiniiiuniciilioii arts

Riding back to campus from a weekend visit at
her long-time friend freshinan Heidi Lesner's
home, the two were in a one-car accident. Lesner
was driving the 1999 GMC Yukon. She was
approaching the Otto Road overpass on Interstate
69, when she lost control, and the vehicle hit a
patch of ice. The car hit the concrete pillar of the
highway's median, trapping both of the students.
Once the two were retrieved from the vehicle and
taken to the hospital, Hayford was pronounced

dead. Lesner suffered from no major injuries.

Hayford's death was announced to the student
body during chapel the following day. A memori-
al service was held that night, giving students a
chance to express their grief Hayford "s funeral
was at Stone Haven United Methodist Church in
Milford, Mich., and was well-attended by Taylor
students.

Hayford was a Christian education major at
Taylor and lived in Swallow Robin Hall. She is
survived by her parents and two sisters.
Hayford's family is from Milford. Mich.

Strong and Dedicated ... an incredible woman of our

Lord Jesus Christ.

Her mission in life was to serve God with

every part of her being.

Through each trial, she found the good.

Christ breathed through her every word.

Ashley was our inspiration, encourageinent and

source of joy.

Her laugh was contagious.

Her shoulder was always there to C17 on.

And her mouth was filled with words of wisdom.

The Spirit of God captivated her mind as

she pursued her dreams.

She was an accomplished track runner and

basketball MVR

An "A" student who was not only popular, funny and

outgoing, but also kind to every person

she came in contact with.

Colorado was her favorite place in the world to be.

She dreamed of one day living there so she could

hike in the mountains and bask in

God's beautiful creation.

Each of us was left with an incredible memory that

time cannot erase.

And a motivation to serve God with all that we are.

Her favorite Bible verse was,

"Rejoice in the Lord always,"

And she lived that out with amazing passion.

Her goal in life was to hear Jesus say, "Well done

my good and faithful servant."

And on that sun-filled day of Januai7 30, 2000, we

all know she heard those very words

from the mouth of Jesus Christ!

reflections

' by matthew rohrs

"Anyone who receives instruction in the word must share all

good things with his instructor " Galatians 6:6
As I reflect upon my time at Taylor, I can think of hundreds of
people and experiences that I am unbelievably thankful for.
There is one particular group, though, that has made an especial-
ly big difference in my life, and I would like to devote this space
to say thank you to these special people. They are the men of
Taylor University, and ironically, at first I did not value either
their friendship or the wisdom that they could offer to me.
As a freshman, my mind was focused on one thing and one
thing only: "fellowship" with my 900 new female neighbors. I
certainly had no desire to sit around with a bunch of guys hold-
ing hands and sharing my feelings. But after falling on my face a

few times and learning that freshmen can't compete with off-
campus upperclassmen in the game of love, a curious thing hap-
pened. God started using my wingmates, PA's and professors to
impact the way that I wanted to live my life. Looking back. I see
that these brothers in Christ taught me more about Christ's love,
and what it truly means to seek Him,
than anyone else has in my life.
So please accept my sincere thanks, and know that you have
made all the difference in at least one young man's life. You have
listened when what I really needed was a supportive ear, spoken
when I began to stray from the path, prayed without ceasing and
loved an imperfect sinner when he didn't deserve it. Each one of
you has been my instructor, and this is my attempt to share all
good things with you. I love you all.

reflections

' by mark mohrlang

I have had four wonderful spring breaks during my years here at

Taylor. They have always been wonderful times of travel, going

deeper in relationships and have left me with some wonderful

memories. Here are a few of them.
Freshman year: Honduras with the Track and Field team. Late at
night Kristin Horn was dared to kiss me while I was sleeping out-
side in a hammock. Somehow she missed and ended up "layin' a
big one" on Bryan Clark, by far the hunkiest sprinter on the team.

Weird. ..because I slept with my name tag on. ..well, whatever.

Favorite picture: Craig Jaggers and I singing "No woman, no cry"

adding our own verses about how hard coach was working us.

Sophomore year: Camping and mountain biking with Bobby

"booby" Whisman, Jason "gomer" Palm, Justin "berger" Berger

and Eric "hot-body" Davis in North Carolina. While getting caked

with mud and thoroughly exhausting our bodies during the day,

we shared stories and played many a card game by the firelight at

night. My favorite picture: all five of us crammed into Bobby's

Celica hatchback with all our gear and five bikes somehow

strapped to the top and back of that tiny car.

Junior year: Road trip with Troy Tiberi, Loren Kimble, Chris

Chiero and John Molineaux. Destination: WEST. We joined a

high school prom already in progress at the Mt. Rushmore visitor

center (my first dance since 7th grade, and interestingly enough, I

hung out near the refreshments for all of this one too!). We

watched "A River Runs Through It" while driving through

Montana (along with "Star Wars" and everyone's Disney favorite,

"Heavyweights"). Favorite picture: All five of us crammed into

Chiero's minivan (minus the middle seat) with all our gear and

goods and a TVA^CR plugged into the lighter.

McMullen, "hot-body" and myself have spent this last week
checking out options and possibilities for after graduation (i.e. try-
ing to figure out what the heck we're going to do with our lives!).
We sat next to a lady with a personal bubble the size of Alaska,
met with Gordon Fee and looked at the cartoons on J.I. Packer's
door (both Bible scholars extraordinaire), talked about living in an

intentional community and gazed in awe at Mt. Rainier through

the cherry blossoms on U.W.'s campus. I got invited to a "legalize

marijuana" party, and Josh and Eric got asked if they were gay.

They're not.

We stayed with Matt Ghormley, a graduate of the Christian Ed.

program in '98, who is currently working in landscape lighting

before he heads off to Regent Seminary. One evening as we were

catching up with each other, he shared what he's been learning
during this year of just "working and living." He mentioned how
tough it's been being out of a formal ministry setting for this year.
He talked about struggling with feeling like he should be "doing"
more. He also talked about how good it's been to rest in the anns
of the Father simply as His child; to leam that nothing is as signif-
icant as being a child of God. So that's what I leave you with.

your identity as a child of God. There is no greater calling.
Oh yeah. ..favorite picture: The three of us crammed into my par-
ents '78 Honda Civic (smaller than a VW Bug) with all our gear
and homework, eating the greasiest hamburgers and saltiest fries
in front of the world famous "Dick's Drive-In."

* by melissa campbeil

I am a richer person than I was four years ago, rich in
invaUiable relationships that formed during my time at Taylor.
I was raised in Upland and grew up to cherish it, but I disliked
the thought of spending my four years of college in "com
country." I desired freedom from my parents
and a fresh environment.
Only a Sovereign God could have known how I would be
enriched by choosing to stay. I have had a solid education at
Taylor that prepared me to be fully competent and effective in
the working world. More importantly, I have had the privilege
of knowing some fantastic people who freely gave uncondi-
tional support and encouragement. It is these relationships that
I will remember most about my college years.
I will remember my wing. Second Center Olson, which was
prevailingly known for general silliness and constant violation

of quiet hours. I will remember intramural football, where I
first learned how to be ferocious while wearing a hair ribbon. I
will even remember playing with dead cats in dissection lab,
as gross as that sounds.
Above all, I will remember the people who did these things
with me. I have learned that college is about more than getting
an education. It's about meeting people and then getting per-
sonal. It's about loving your neighbors enough to truly care

about the tiny details in their lives.

Taylor provided the nurturing environment that allowed my

relationships to sprout and flourish. I know these friendships I

formed will last a lifetime, even if only through prayers for

one another. These relationships are tme treasures from God,

and are the most priceless riches I received

while attending Taylor

It is Strange to realize that suddenly we have earned a title like

"senior" — and with it some degree of respect (maybe), quite a

few expectations and an endless barrage of questions about future

plans. "Professor" is not such an intiinidating word anymore, and

we find ourselves stopping by our advisor's office even when we

are not in desperate need of his or her signature. Hopefully we

have started to realize that chapel is a privilege. Upland can be

entertaining and sometimes the DC is something to look forward

to. Everyone is not a stranger anymore, and we wish we had time

to get to know those who still are.

During these years I have struggled with depression and found

that the Lord is truly the lifter of my head; I have begged Him for

wisdom and have been reassured that He orders my steps and

"knows the way I take" (Job 23:10). I have needed His healing

physically, His renewal mentally and His comfort spiritually. I

have learned a little more of what Counselor means - the One who

"wipes away the tears from all faces" (Isaiah 25:8) and stands in

the place of absent mothers and fathers. Sobbing requests for

friends, family members and professors have been carried to His

throne by the strength of those around me. I have been encouraged

to seek Him, have learned to be more thankful and know that

when and how are His choice and why will probably not be

answered yet. I am ceitain that 1 do not know how this story ends,

but am excited, not anxious, to watch Him write the ending and

am counting on the grace of the living God to shelter and sustain

me for the remainder of the love affair.

"Yet, O Lord. You are our Father We are the clay. You are

the potter: we are all the work of Your hand. "

Isaiah 64:10

When I think of my time at Taylor, my heart is filled with

praise and thanks for God's work, constant provision and

plan. These past four years have been a time of refinement

as the Lord has continually taught me and shown me more

of Himself through Taylor's community. I came to Taylor

scared and fearful, but He certainly worked on me and
blessed me in more ways than I could have ever imagined.
My memories overflow with God's goodness as I reflect
upon my experience here of lifelong friends and professors,
papers and tests, wing retreats and activities, Airbands and
Taylathons, Lighthouse and student teaching experiences,
chapels and conferences. Yes, there were difficult times, lit-
tle sleep and much work, but as our president Dr. Jay
Kesler said, "He has blessed me to the
point of embarrassment!"
So now this goal I once only dreamed of is complete, flill
of memories and forever friends. I look ahead to the future,
but not as I did four years ago. Instead of fear, I look for-
ward with great anticipation and hope knowing God's faith-
fulness will continue to shape all of us as He takes us
places to serve in ways and with people we never have
before. My prayer is that with this senior class we will con-
tinue to be soft and sensitive clay in our Father's hands,
wanting nothing more that to know Him more, and to pas-
sionately follow His leadership by serving

people for His Kingdom.

"Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good.

His love endures forever "

Christian Education

The past four years at Taylor have meant more to me than a
few short paragraphs can describe. I came as an average
Christian, and I am leaving stronger, knowing why I claim
Christianity. I came with fresh wounds from hurtful relation-
ships, and I am leaving with a better understanding of relation-
ships and a handful of friends that will be true for eternity
come distance, hardship or misunderstanding. I came as Sandra
Lynn Buehler. and I am leaving as Sandra Lynn Fyffe. The
changes in my life have been significant and bear witness
to the faithful hand of God.
A wise word of advice was given to me by my youth pas-
tor's wife when I graduated from high school. She told me not
to settle for being spoon-fed but to take an active role in my
education and experiences. As we all know, Taylor is not the
summer camp it feels like for the first couple weeks. The more
you put into it, the more you will get out of it. As I reflect now,
the times that have been the most meaningful to me were the
late-night heart-to-hearts with dear friends (and the exhaustion
the next day), experiencing everything from various service
opportunities to a weekend in Chicago with a group of nutty
music majors, early morning meetings with God and the pride
of holding a (just in time!) finished paper. I have been blessed
beyond belief with the privilege to attend Taylor.
As I leave knowing that I can't stay forever (though I'd like
to!), I take with me the nourishment received from a Christ-
centered community. I take with me knowledge and pray for
understanding and wisdom. I take with me a husband with
whom I have committed to loving and serving those around us.
I take the lessons I've learned and the experiences I've had and
pray that God will use them and will continue to bless and
impact Taylor students with the wonder of His faithfulness.

The people walking offstage clutching their hard earned diplomas
are leaving Taylor much changed from the anxious freshmen who
arrived four years ago. As freshmen we entered with many expecta-
tions about the next four years. As a senior looking back, I realize
that most of what I learned was not expected at all.
Being a student at Taylor has presented me with many opportuni-
ties. I have lived on a wing with forty other women, in another coun-
try, in an apartment and in a house with six other truly beautiful
ladies. These living situations presented their own different opportu-
nities as well. Taylor taught me both in the classroom and out.
I entered Taylor on fire for Social Work and perused it for all four
years. When I entered Taylor I expected to have all of my questions
answered. 1 am leaving with many more questions but an understand-
ing that there are few black and white issues. It is not just okay, but
good, to struggle through these issues. Our professors gave us knowl-
edge and, at the same time, challenged us to think and to see many

different perspectives. 1 also learned from my peers.
God has taught me so much about himself through different friend-
ships I have made through Taylor. Some friends just remained
acquaintances, some were close but eventually drifted away and oth-
ers will remain friends for a lifetime. The Bible describes different
attributes of God, and I have experienced them to a certain degree
during prayer and quiet time. However, those attributes have become
most real and personal to me through the example of friendship.
Friends from all levels can reveal God's character. It might be an
acquaintance who genuinely smiles at you when you are having a bad
day or a friend who you know you can call at three in the morning if
you need to talk. Simple acts that we do as a friend are a reflection of
God's love. Relationships, like God, are very mysterious to me.
There is much joy found in both giving and receiving friendship.
My friends at Taylor have taught me about God's love which is
patient and perseveres. In the Bible God gives us examples of using
brothers and sisters in Christ when dealing with confrontation. God
used Paul to confront the Corinthians in love. My friends have tnily
taught me the delicate line of confronting in love. After it was over I
still knew they loved me, yet I realized the need to change an area in
my life. My friends helped me to understand how God desires to

change us in a loving manner.
Taylor has provided me with many opportunities that have opened
my eyes to solidify my identity in Christ and expand my world view.
My professors have taught me how to challenge things from a faith-
based perspective and have reinforced this in their own lives and their
interactions with us. My friends have also taught me about being cre-
ated in the image of God. I am sad to leave Taylor and my relation-
ships here, but I do not look back with regret. Taylor was a very
important step that has equipped me to move forward as a better ser-
vant of Christ in evei^ aspect of my life.

TAYLOR is community. Yes, we've all heard this acclamation hun-
dreds of times. In fact, I've "preached" this sennon on numerous occa-
sions during my time as a campus tour guide. But what does community
mean, and more specifically, who is it comprised of? This is the opportu-
nity I've been waiting for. Allow me, for a moment, to salute those who
have held the light along our path through TAYLOR. Here I offer a token
of gratitude to those who have illuminated our Christian lives and made
our TAYLOR careers unforgettable:

Thanks to Dr. Charles for teaching me to love the Lord my God with all
my MIND. He urged us to avoid the anti-intellectualism that often per-
vades popular Christianity.
Thanks to Dr. Fanner for preparing our hearts for corporate worship.
Thanks to Dr. Heth for teaching the New Testament with unparalleled

excitement! (And for teaching us not to water-ski on one leg.)

Thanks to Linda, the cleaning lady, for cleaning where no Wengatz man

had cleaned before — the bathroom.

Thanks to Andre Broquard for his guidance.

Thanks to Dr. Davis for blessing us with 32 notes on the banjo. Thank

you for playing anything with strings.

Thanks to Mickey for looking the other way once or twice.

Thanks to whomever was in charge of changing the name from Personal

Touch Staff (PTS) to CREW. Now if we could only work on PROBE.

Thanks to Dr. White for opening his home up for weekly Bible studies

(we needed to get away from the dungeon somehow).
Thanks to Dr. Siler for the enthusiasm that he brought to the classroom.

You truly teach unto God! (In a second!)
Thanks to Beth and Rick Muthiah for taking me under their wings. Your

abode was my home away from home.
Thanks to the infinite wisdom of someone in the administration for tak-
ing down the "Flexing of Florida." Its presence has not been missed.
Thanks to Dr. Shultz for using his musical gifts to ornament
our chapel addresses.
Thanks to Professor Collymore for impressing upon us the significance
that the Old Testament holds in our Christian walk. (Thanks also for let-
ting me date one of the "sisters.")
Thanks to Jan Hagar for illuminating the Admissions office with your
encouraging and comforting smile while you were with us.
Thanks to Paul Lightfoot for adorning our campus with
God's florid creation.
Finally, thanks to Jay for being a president that we could all approach.
Thank you for leading us.

The students at Mississinewa High School in Gas City often
see a unique cheering section at their football and basketball
games. The guys from First Bergwall have been supporting them
for the past two years — hosting tailgate parties, performing
their own cheers, laying down and spelling "MHS" with their
bodies on the court at halftime and planning an annual open
house in the school's honor.

"We get requests for cheers," senior and First Berg PA Dave
Kauffman says. The MHS students love it. They even reserve
seats for First Berg in the students" section at the games. Senior
John Aoun says, "We get to influence these high school kids in a
good way while having a blast on the weekend."

Few open houses can claim a ten-year history, but Second Bergwall's annual Sigma Beta
Fest can. "The tradition was created in 1989... in an effort to attract students to the newly
finished Bergwall Hall." PA Eric Barnes says.

Held evei7 November (24), each room features a different theme or game. Brock
Maxwell, Richard Fountain and Jonathan Kurtz hosted "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire." in
which participants could win movies, candy and other prizes. Ethan Van Drunen, David
Culley and David Whittington dubbed their room "The Haircut Room," and willing visitors
received a free haircut from a professional stylist.

Barnes estimated this year's attendance at 300 to 400 people, about the same as in 1989.
"In its first year, the event attracted over 400 students from all over campus, as well as Jay
Kesler," Barnes says. Open house guests were treated to karaoke and other impromptu per-
fomiances from the lounge, in addition to lots of food donated by area businesses.

evan n

Evan H. Bergwall
graduated summa
cum laude and first
in his class froin
Taylor University in
1939. He then pursued graduate studies at
Yale Divinity School, New York University,
Emory University and Oxford University.

Bergwall
became
president
of Taylor
in 1951.
Both the
faculty
and board

a great

of witnesses

were extremely divided over a disagreement,
and the university's financial situation was
unstable. Bergwall reluctantly accepted the
office and invited Milo A. Rediger to return
as academic dean soon after.

Bergwall resigned in 1959 to return to the
Methodist ministry. Wilbur Cleveland, fonner
editor of the Taylor Magazine and other uni-
versity publications, wrote, "During his years
at Taylor, Dr. Bergwall became deeply appre-
ciated by alumni and many other friends of
the university for his intellectual and spiritual
leadership, deep sincerity and devotion to the
strengthening of Taylor's entire program."
Bergwall Hall, named in honor of President
Bergwall, was built in 1989.

The women of Third Bergwall know
how to watch an NCAA basketball tour-
nament game — with a big screen TV,
lots of foods and tons of friends. On
March 16, they did just that, with their
second annual March Madness open
house.

Along with the big screen TV, video
projector and stereo set up for the game,
the women decorated the lounge with
streamers and teain logos. The decora-
tions extended down the hall as well.
"Each room is given a different team, and
they decorated with the teams' logos and
colors," junior Julie Stemer explains.

Local restaurants donated food, includ-
ing pizza, subs and meal vouchers, and
the women organized shooting games to
see who would win the vouchers.

According to Stemer, many people
attended the event — more than last year.
She estimates, "A few hundred came
through."

The students who participated in the Fourth
Bergwall formal pick-a-date in December weren't
exactly themselves — each person was given a
role to play as part of a mystery dinner.

The mystery was set in a train car in 1930s
Paris, so participants wore period clothes, many
in keeping with their character. Junior Sheryl
Thrush loved the costumes. "The best thing about
it was getting to dress up," she says. Thrush's
character was named Mary, an artsy writer. Her
date, junior Sam Hartman, played a fighter pilot
and war hero, but he was also smuggling guns to
Germans and running a prostitution ring.

After the meal and mystery, many couples went
roller-skating in their costumes, and this activity
was Hartman "s favorite part. "I really liked the
roller-skating," he says. "I haven't been roller-
skating in a long time."

Many wings have unique events for freshmen ori-
entation, and Cellar Enghsh is no exception.
Freshmen are told to meet at the PA"s apartment for
dinner at the DC and arrive to fmd the rest of the
girls on the wing already there. Upperclassmen are
all wearing "70s clothes, and freshmen are given
similar outfits, too. Then everyone walks to the DC
for dinner and Ivanhoe's for dessert afterwards.

PA Adrienne Brooks thinks the best thing about
the evening is "the surprise factor. It's very shock-
ing." She also loves the conversation. "We're
developing relationships in our mothers' clothes,"
she says.

Freshman Lindsey Tatone had a great time, too.
She says, "I was totally surprised. It was really
cool for freshmen orientation because everyone
did it. They didn't make us do it by ourselves."

a Daonair day ^^

s^s

Glue, hair gel, sprinkles, highlighters, mascara,
spray paint. Pick-a-date. Hair styling and guys.
Strange combination?

Not for First South English. This creative wing
lad a quick pick in which dates created hair styles
for each other. And they were allowed to use any
Tiaterials they could think of. Freshman Lauren
VIcLaughlin says, "One guy had spray paint on his
lead and sprinkles on top, so he looked like a
;upcake."

Another member of First South was asked to lay
Dn the ground with her hair spread out in a fan.
rhen, it was sprayed until it stayed in place.

Members of First South were notified of the
Dlans for the evening the day before the date.
VIcLaughlin says that the group was fairly skepti-
:al. "But it turned out to be really fun," she says.

When the beauty shop portion of the quick pick
ivas over, the group headed to Wal-Mart where
;ach participant picked out a cup to buy. They then
:ook the cups back to English lounge and ate ice
:ream in them.

bathtubs, soda and the Christmas (Tpen house

Though most wings in EngHsh don't decorate very much for
the hall's Christmas open house, INE has a tradition wrapped up
in the decorating. And it involves the bathroom.

For the three years senior PA Bethany Baldwin has lived on
the wing, the tradition has been the same. The women of INE
pull couches, string lights and decorate their bathroom. But the
highlight of it all lies in the bathtub, which is filled to the brim
with chilling sodas. Baldwin says, "After the cleaning ladies
clean the tub, we don't use it until the open house, then we put
drinks in it."

Christmas is a big event for INE. And decorating the bathroom
makes it memorable to others. Baldwin says, "It's just known
that we do it. And we're basically the only ones that decorate."

wrestlFmania

When Second South EngHsh PA Linnea Goddard started thinking about how much fun
guys seem to have wrestling, she decided that girls could have just as much fun. So from
that came the Second South Wrestling Federation. It involves four separate events:
thumb wrestling, arm wrestling, leg wrestling, and full body contact wrestling.

Linnea, the "Twisting Terror," says that women from the wing were allowed to enter as
many categories as they wanted. The tournament was single elimination and the best two

out of three rounds determined winners for
the first three categories. For the full body
contact division, the winner was deter-
mined by sudden death — whoever pinned
the other first was the winner. Nasty tac-
tics like biting, hair pulling and purposely
aiming for sensitive areas were outlawed.
The contestants wrestled for a maximum
of ten minutes per bout. If neither were
pinned by that time, the winner was deter-
mined by a best three out of five game of
rock-paper-scissors.

This year's proud champions were: fresh-
man Kat Loutrel in the thumb wrestling
division, sophomore Martha Burrus for her
powerful arms, leg wrestling went to
junior Stephanie Webber, and full body
contact was taken away by none other than
the "Twisting TeiTor" herself, Linnea. "I
won on my defensive skills," Linnea
claims, "I never pinned anyone — I guess
I'm just really good at rock-paper-scis-
sors!" The final bout in that match was
with Carrie Swinburne, a.k.a. the "Fast
Forward Frenzy."

For most students, studying is hard work, so the women of
Second Center English get together weekly for study breaks.
Hosted each week by a different set of roommates, these breaks
have been a tradition for the past two years. "Everyone comes to
relax and chat for a while, sort of a 'regrouping" time, " PA Laura
Rosenwinkel says.

These women played the roommate game and celebrated holi-
days. They had visits from Jay and a massage therapist. But
what they do is not as important as the fact that they are togeth-
er. "I personally enjoy them because it's rare that we get the
entire wing together all at once," Rosenwinkel says.

Second North English wanted to do something different
for a pick-a-date this year. When junior PA Laura Newton
heard about "Comfusion," she decided that it would make
a great choice for her wing's fall pick-a-date.

Newton says, "It was really fun."

Comfusion is a church-sponsored event that is used to
raise money. The church makes a giant maze out of a field
of com, then lets groups come and try to find their ways
through it. Newton says, "It was out in the middle of
nowhere, obviously, in the middle of a cornfield."

When the group aixived, they set out in groups of two,
four and six. Each group was given a flag to hold up if
they got lost. Also, along the way there were stations with
mailboxes containing jokes and com trivia. When a group
finally made its way to the end of the maze about an hour
and a half later, it got the chance to ring a large bell. Then
the whole group joined together again to enjoy a camptlre.

The most memorable part of the night for Newton was
"a tiny fender-bender on the way there involving two of
the cars." Luckily, there were no injuries.

The group enjoyed the rest of the night in safety.
Newton says, "I think the PA next year will do it again."

Tradition is a big part of Third English. Like previous years, the floor held
ts annual broomball pick-a-date. This year's event, held on Nov. 20, began
iifferently for each wing. After eating at the DC, Third North ladies and
heir dates got together for a "dessert party" in the English Hall lounge and
decorated their brooms. Third Center took the date on the road early, having
iupper at Dick Clark's American Bandstand. And Third South couples ate
)n the wing. After eating, eveiyone met at the ice arena in Indy, which they
lad reserved to play their yearly game.

With decorative brooms in hand, the teams warmed up outside the rink by
loing jumping jacks and other exercises. Once on the ice, the teams raced
iround trying to see who could sweep the most balls into the goal. During
)ne round, all of the players were tied to their dates, making it much more
lifficult to get around. When their two-hour reservation was up, they sepa-
■ated ways. Discussing the group she left with, Ja'Niece McCraw, Third
Center PA, says, "It was the best time ever. After broomball, a group of us
vent to Steak 'N' Shake, which was so much fun."

getting awaylrom it all

Third North English PA Melissa Holtje wanted to plan a spring retreat for her
wing, but she wanted to surprise her wingmates, too. So, on May 12, with bags
packed for the weekend, they loaded into cars and followed their PA. Holtje drove
the long way around the loop, her destination being the gym parking lot, but her
wingmates didn't know that. "With every turn, the girls in my car got quieter and
quieter, " Holtje says.

When they arrived at the gym, Holtje's father was waiting with her family's RV.
Once everyone and all the bags were inside, he drove to Holtje's home in Racine,
Wisconsin. Holtje says this trip, taking almost five hours, was the farthest Third
North has ever gone for a wing retreat.

The women spent the weekend riding the Holtjes' four-wheeler, tanning, soaking in
the hot tub, shopping at outlet malls and watching movies. Saturday morning includ-
ed a special devotional time, where Holtje handed the women letters they had writ-
ten to Jesus in the fall. After reading them over and reminiscing, they each wrote a
second letter.

The entire weekend was very meaningful, according to Holtje. "We've never done
a spring retreat before," she says, "and I think it was the best time to come together
and reaffirm what this year was about."

The lounge is also an important part of Gerig life. Pierce
says, "There's always someone down in the lounge, whether
they're watching TV, playing Scrabble or Trivial Pursuit or

Heather Baker adds her personal
touch to the graffiti wall in a third
floor suite. The wall was part of the
suite's Central Park theme.

Ask anyone on campus, and they'll probably tell you that the event Gerig Hall is best
known for is its annual Christmas open house. Every year for the past six years, the
Gerig men and women have entertained the Taylor community with bands, games,
themes, coffee and costumes. This year's event was held on Nov. 30, and the second
floor focused on traditional Christmas, the fourth floor looked at Christmas in the
future and the third floor
was the transition between
the two with Christmas in
New York and a New
Year's Eve party.

They even dropped a
ball down all four floors
and threw confetti and
balloons at midnight to
celebrate the month
change from November to
December, and two men
played "Auld Lang Syne"
on the trumpet and saxo-
phone.

Michelle Hershberger has

surprise, surprise!

Co-PAs Megan Bolim and
Jen Platek have both lived
on First East Olson for the
past three years, and each
wanted to say good-bye to
the wing in a special way.
"We wanted to do some-
thing really special for
them, and we thought it
would be fun to keep it a
surprise," Bohm explains.

They chose May 5 for the
special event and told their
wingmates to keep the date
open, then began making
plans. Bohm and Platek
contacted parents to ask for
financial contributions and
a special letter to each
daughter. The parents' help
made a big difference.
Bohm says, "We had a
great response, and we are so thankful to the parents for
all their contributions and help in the whole thing."

The week before May 5, Bohm and Platek posted clues
about their plans. "Everyday they would hover over the
door to see what the next clue was," Bohm says. "All they
knew was to dress up and that we were going out for din-
ner and to bring stuff to spend the night." The evening

began with the arrival of a photographer to take any pic-
tures the women wanted. Then they traveled to the
Holiday Inn in Anderson for dinner, a special program and
the rest of the night.

Freshman Brooke Stewart was very surprised. "It was a
good time for us to get to know each other more, to have
fun and get away from school," she says.

Borne away from nome

Sometimes it's helpful to have a real home to visit
when you are away at college. Chuck and Shirley
Moore have been providing that home to the members
of First West Olson for many years now. "The Moores
act as our grandparents away from home. They're
always there for us and encourage us along our journey
here," freshman Susan Ankeny says.

The Moores, missionaries in residence with OMS
International, host Thanksgiving dinner and a
Christmas party each fall, and Shirley makes Christmas
ornaments for each person. They also sit with First
West in chapel and make cookies during Finals Week,
in addition to working with Students Concerned
Radically About Missions (SCRAM) and Mu Kappa.

The women on the wing really appreciate the
Moores' involvement in their lives. PA Laura Bayes,
junior, summed up the relationship this way: '"First
West is the best, don't settle for less' has always been
Chuck and Shirley's battle cry for our wing, but in
reality we've been blessed with nothing less than the
best from them."

row, row, row yourboai

Every year, hundreds of people show up to watch Taylathon. And every year, the women of
Second East Olson go canoeing for a pick-a-date the next day.

The four-year-old tradition is usually well attended, according to PA Carolyn Flick. "About 24
people went this year," she estimates. "The attendance is always good."

When canoeing with friends, sometimes staying in the canoe is the biggest challenge. "Within
the first five minutes of being in the river, about every single canoe tipped — with the help of
friends, of course." Flicks says. Getting dumped into the water can be a blessing, though, espe-
cially in inclement weather. "We got rained on a couple times, but no one cared since everyone
was wet anyways," Flick explains. "Being wet just made the picnic at the end kind of cold!"

For these Second East women
and their dates, rain combined with
being dumped in the river makes
for a wet and cold picnic after
canoeing.

called to serve

Serving God and serving otiiers is an important
part of Second Center Olson's fall wing retreat.
Last year they sorted clothes at a mission in
Grand Rapids, and this year they worked for
Habitat for Humanity in the Detroit area.

A director for Habitat explained to the women
what the organization does. Then they split up
into three groups to clean completed houses, with
their own cleaning supplies.

Because the groups coincided with carloads to
the retreat, they each invented a name and a song
— the Backstreet Blondes, the Scum Bums, and
Dah-dit-dit-dit — dah-dah-dah — Dah-dit-dit-dit.

PA Desi Stutzman thinks the small groups were
important to the retreat's success. She says, "It
was so great because we got to serve in small
groups, learning more about each other as we
worked, while helping their community."

"Noilh, south, east, west. Second West
is the best. We're going to B-E-A-T,
beat them, we're going to B-U-S-T, bust
them. Beat them, bust them, that's our
custom, come on girls, let's readjust
them."

Second West's intramural football
team is easy to recognize — the girls all
wear black shorts, shirts, socks, cleats,
hair bows and war paint.

Many women were athletes in high
school, so intramurals give them a
chance to stay involved in sports.
Freshman Jessica Bell says, "The main
goal is to have fun and glorify God
with it. It's fun to see if you can still
hack it."

This year's team ended up in the finals
but lost to the off-campus team.
According to junior Amy Frederick,
2WO was "the No. 1 on-campus team."

Droiners anasisters

Having brother and sister wings is one of those tradi-
tions that is unique to Taylor. Some matches don't work
Dut so well, but others seem perfect. Third East Olson and
Second Center Wengatz is one of those great matches.

The women of Third East think that God has a lot to do
with this success. Laura Esclamado, Third East PA, says,
■'At the very beginning, we put a lot of prayer into it."

These wings do more than just pray and worship togeth-
;r. They eat dinner together every Tuesday night. And in
the fall, they traveled to an apple orchard in Ohio for a
brother/sister wing retreat. Women of Third East pray for
their brothers, too — each guy has an anonymous secret
sister who encourages him regularly with notes.

These girls have found more than a brother wing —
they've found lasting friendships. Esclamado says, "A lot
Df people have made really good friends."

rV-hour DiCK-a-date

Third Center Olson puts a different spin on the traditional Christmas >
fonnal pick-a-date — they spend the night together. After dinner at
the SAC Christmas banquet, participants attended the ballet, "The
Nutcracker," then drove to PA Sara Secttor's house. At her house,
they hung out and played games throughout the night and had break-
fast the next morning before traveling back to campus.

Spending so much time together means the women of 3C0 have to
be careful about their choices for dates. Secttor says most girls
choose guys they know well, or guys their friends know well.

Secttor likes the activity becaus, "you get to know your date better
than a nonnal pick-a-date." Sophomore Kelly Beitzel agreed, saying,
"The next day you feel like you've made a good friend."

an dressea up -i^^^—

Formal pick-a-dates are nothing new for the women of Third West Olson,
but this year they did do something different. Rather than holding it in the
spring, as they have in years past, PAs Mandie CuUen and Lindsey
VanderWoude decided to make the event a Christmas formal, planning it
for Dec. 4, the night of the annual Christmas banquet at the DC.

After eating at the DC, the group headed to Indianapolis to hear the
Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra's Yuletide Festival. Then they moved on
to junior Christina Hart's home in Indianapolis for dessert and a white ele-
phant gift exchange.

Because one wing member's father donated the tickets, the entire evening
was very inexpensive, and Cullen thinks this contributed to the event's
success. "A large number of girls went, and it was a huge hit because we
were able to keep the price around $12 per couple," Cullen says.

lori holtmann
director of housing

changes

new house, new job, new husband

The first month of the school year was filled with new
experiences for Lori Holtmarm, formerly Bedi. And the dia-
mond ring on her left ring finger didn't have everything to
do with it. The changing of her last name was accompanied
by a new position at Taylor

Married on September 11, 1999, Lori Holtmann is the
new director of residential housing. After her wedding,
which was officiated by Richard Allen Farmer, dean of the
chapel, the couple set up house in Upland.

Lori's husband, Chris, is also a new Taylor employee. He
was hired as the assistant men's basketball coach. About all
of these changes, Lori says, "There were times when it was
very, very hectic. Any one of those things is a big, stressful
thing. So to do them all at the same time was a little ambi-
tious, but we made it."

That's likely because Lori is a very ambitious woman. A
blue-eyed brunette, Lori is a Gordon College graduate who
left with a history major and Bible minor. She then got her
Masters in student personnel administration from Ball
State.

Beginning her professional stay at Taylor in 1995, Lori
started here as the Gerig hall director. And after four years
in that position, she moved into the director of residential
housing position this fall.

However, Lori's experiences in student development did-
n't just begin when she started working for Taylor. "I was
very involved in student development even through
college."

So after working closely with college students her first

four years of post-graduate work, Lori does not desire to
lose touch with student life at Taylor now. She says that
students are her favorite part of both jobs, but she desires
more interaction than possible in her new position. Lori
adds, "The thing I miss the most about being here in this
office is just the flow of students in and out of my apart-
ment. I just loved it — constant activity, constant people."

But that's still obvious in Lori's office demeanor. She's
often seen fluttering around the office, talking to employees
and students alike. After the photo shoot, she stops to dis-
cuss housing with one of the editors. Outside the office,
you may see her meet with Chris downstairs in Rediger or
sitting amongst students in chapel. She smiles.

Continuing in a different role on the same campus, Lori
is excited to learn her job expectations. She also enjoys her
closer interaction with Walt Campbell and the entire associ-
ate dean staff.

Lori believes that this position will help her grow. She
says, "I am a pleaser. I want to bend over backwards to
make evei7one happy, but I can't. I think it will thicken my
skin, and I think that's important. It will mature me, and I
think it will help me in the future with being more
confident."

With that, Lori's not sure where she'll be in ten years. "I
see myself either moving on professionally or being a
mother. I say that as if they're mutually exclusive, and 1
don't know if they are or not. But I know that if I do have a
family, I will be committed to that; and if I have my career,
I will be committed to that."

foundatipn

an imporlant symbol

Taylor trivia: if you were kidnapped and your ransom was a shovel, where would you
live? Answer: Foundation.

The shovel has been Foundation's traditional symbol for about ten years now. According
to PA Andy Jacques, the floor first acquired the shovel when several floor members were
driving to a retreat and noticed an old shovel lying on the side of the road. They picked it
up and cleaned it off, and the shovel has been the floor mascot ever since. It has even been
incoi"porated into the floor logo.

The shovel accompanies the tloor to retreats and intramural games. But because people
have tried to steal it, it "stays in hiding most of the time," Jacques says.

Two years ago. Foundation's sister wing. Second Center Olson, tried a different tactic to
gain possession. The women lured a couple of Foundation floor members outside and kid-
napped them, taking the men to The Bank and locking them in the vault. When they
demanded the shovel in exchange for the men's release, Jacques says, the floormates told
them, "You can keep the guys."

The shovel is important to these men. Jacques says, "It's kind of a rallying point for the
tloor."

loungelizards Ibse.j^gain

Most intramural basketball teams play to win,
but there's at least one team on the court whose
goal is to lose, and have fun doing it. Sammy II's
Lounge Lizards dress up in outrageous clothes
and try not to win. Usually their costumes have a
common theme, such as dresses or superheros.

First Bergwall team member Dave Kauffman
enjoyed playing against the Lounge Lizards, but
admits it was somewhat frustrating. He says, "It
was a lot of fun, I was distracted, though — I did
airball a shot because of the way one guy was
dressed."

brotherhood

an air orrnvsrerv

Anyone on campus will agree there's something dif-
ferent about the Brotherhood. The floor has three lead-
ers — the Snake, the Pope and the Phubbbbbs — but
no one off the floor knows exactly how they're chosen
or when and how these traditions started.

And to add to the mystery, the members of BroHo
won't tell. Given the number of people that have come
through Taylor as members of the Brotherhood, this is
a pretty amazing feat.

As the newest Phubbbbbs, the five-b Phubbbbbs,
freshman Nate Elwell, holds more power than the pre-
vious Phubbbbs, who graduated last spring. The cur-
rent Pope, Jeff Blosser, has less power than the
Phubbbbbs, but more than the Snake, junior Colin
Robertson.

But why all the secrets? The Pope explained it this
way: "We work for unity, and that's why we keep
things secret — to unify us and set us apart; keep us
unique."

samuel

By Brenda Vergara

Samuel Moiris, or
Prince Kaboo as his
tribe knew him, was
sold into slavery at
the age of 11 . He was constantly beaten by his
owner, and as time went by, the beatings got
worse. The abuse was eventually so temble
that he could no longer take the pain. His only
solution was to escape, and that is exactly what
he did.

When Sammy reached the coast, he began
working on a coffee plantation, where he
learned about Christ from another worker, a
young boy.

A lady missionary from the church he was
attending began teaching Sammy how to read
and write,
and about the
Gospel. She
also gave him
the name
Samuel
Moms. As

a great

ofwitnesses

soon as he learned the opportunities that were
available to him in America, he began asking
God to show him how to get there. He arrived
in New York not long after.

In New York, Sammy met Stephen Merritt,
pastor of a Methodist church. Merritt suggested
that Sammy be sent to study at Taylor
University, in Fort Wayne, Ind. Despite his bro-
ken English and faulty accent, Sammy touched
the hearts of Taylor's campus right away.

Thaddeus Reade, Taylor's president at the
time, saw immediately why Sammy was so
special. He hoped that Samuel Morris would be
a blessing to both the school and its students,
and that is exactly what he was.

January 1893, two years after having arrived
at Taylor, Sammy's body was still unaccus-
tomed to the cold weather. He developed pneu-
monia and died at St. Joseph's Hospital, in Fort
Wayne, May 1893.

His unquestioning faith and "Spirit-filled"
life had a great impact on Taylor University
and continues as a legacy today.

penthouse

Foman tradition

Freshmen hazing is illegal at Taylor — but toga initiation isn't. The
Friday before the tlrst home game of the year. Penthouse upperclass-
men make their floor's freshmen wear togas all day. The next day, the
entire floor dons togas as well, to put on a show before the football
players arrive on the field.

Freshman Matt Darr enjoyed the entire experience. "I was pretty
excited," he says. "It's an excuse to be dumb for a day and have fun
doing it." Darr is only one recent participant in a long line of
Penthouse men. The toga football tradition dates back as far as the
1970s.

Penthouse PA Steve Klipp believes the event will continue in the
future, too. He says, "It's an old Morris tradition that's going to last
throush the new Morris era."

In November 1995, Swallow Robin Hall hosted its first
Birdhouse Bash, an event that has since become an annual tra-
dition. Each floor picks a theme that's carried out in every
room, and on occasion, there's an overall theme for the entire
hall. This year's theme for the tlrst floor was the holidays,
while the second floor focused on entertainment. The third
floor highlighted New York.

First Floor PA Laura Sergi says the best thing about the
event is that "it really opens us up to the rest of campus."
Second Floor PA Jason Hillier agrees. "It brings in so many
people," he says. "And each room has an individual theme, so
it's very unique."

first east wengatz

a winning traaition

Placing in Airband is a three-year tradition for First East Wengatz. This year they took
home third place for their rendition of "Madame Librarian," from the musical The
Music Man. "Men In Tights" from Robin Hood and "It's a Hard Knock Life" from
Annie earned them first place in 1997 and 1998, respectively. Senior Josh Eastburn,
who participated in 1997 and 1998, says, "The best thing about Airband was wearing a
dress or tights and being with your closest friends and not being ashamed of it."

Are the guys disappointed about losing first place this year? "It's always a thrill to
perfonn in front of our peers, and winning is nice, too, ' sophomore Brian Peters says.
"But the most important aspect is a chance to bond with guys on the wing, unite for a
common purpose. The memories we make will last longer than any prize we could
win."

the SDice ofliie ^^

--^

Ask anyone on campus about their wing or floor, and most will com-
nent on both the diversity and the unity. First West Wengatz is one that
las concrete examples to prove it.

According to PA Justin Belgiano, a visitor can hear anything from the
..ion King soundtrack to Ice Cube being blasted into the hallway. There
ire men Belgiano calls "marquee scholars" and those he calls "video
;ame fiends." Senior Matt Mendham has the suspected largest book
ibrary, while freshman Nate Zacharias has a large collection of DVDs.
Vnd on any given morning, it is not unusual for the men to meet over the
)athroom sinks early in the morning, some just waking up and others just
;oing to bed. Freshman Drew Shafer usually goes to bed between 4 and 5

a.m., mostly "because I procrastinate on my homework by hanging out
with people and don't start it until really late," he explains. Freshman
Aaron Brown, on the other hand, is usually up pretty early. "I like to
spend my time in the morning being up and reading my Bible and pray-
ing," he says.
And yet, despite all these differences, there's a lot that brings the men of
First West together. "We have very high involvement. The unity is very
strong," Belgiano says. "It sounds kind of cliche, but I like how there's a
lot of different groups of guys," Brown adds. Shafer agrees. "It all comes
down to the guys," he says. "It's just a great group of guys. There's a lot
of brotherly interaction."

milk, it does a body good? ^^

For most people, the thought of drinking a gallon of milk in
one hour is pretty sickening. But for the men of Second East
Wengatz, it's all part of their annual Dairy Challenge, held the
Sunday before spring finals week.

The purpose of the event is to drink the entire gallon without
getting sick. Ten men participated this year, but only one of
them was able to coinplete the challenge — David Miller. "I
think that it is a pride thing to be able to actually do the chal-
lenge without throwing up," PA Mike Paull explains.

Sophomore Tim Knipp was one of the winning contestants
last year. He was denied medical attention at the health center
because he informed the nurse that he had won the dairy chal-
lenge. Paull recounts, "She responded by saying that he need-
ed to 'go back to your room and think about what you did!'"

Paull really enjoys the tradition. "It challenges guys in an
interesting way and brings everyone together for one last she-
bang before the year is over," he says.

on me roaa again ^^

As the first weekend of March approached, the
men of Second Center Wengatz drew a 10 to 14
hour radius around Upland on a map. They then
placed the names of several cities in that radius in a
hat, pulled one out, loaded themselves into two
Taylor vans and took off Thus began the second
annual Second Center road trip. PA Stuart Davis
says, "We wanted to do something fun and
spontaneous."

This year's drive took the men to Panama City,
Fla., out of choices such as Toronto, New York

City, Boston, Atlanta and New Orleans. The drive
took 14 hours each way, and the wingmates spent
only 10 hours at the beach. Last year they traveled
to Charleston, S.C.

Spending all that time crammed into a small space
might be frustrating for some, but these men con-
sider it a bonding experience. "Definitely the best
thing is the way you get to know people after being
crammed in a bus for twelve hours." Davis added,
"You see different sides of people that you don't get
a chance to see very often."

They saunter into chapel wearing sunglasses and leather jackets, looking
tough and somewhat out of place at Taylor. But any Taylor veteran knows this
is just Second West "Wengatz "s way of advertising for its upcoming open house.
Tonight We Ride.

Tonight We Ride began seven years ago as a celebration of Harley Davidson.
"Leather jackets and motorcycles seem to represent a certain American attitude
that guys enjoy," PA Dan Jacobson explains. The event attracts many familiar
faces from Taylor's community, including Walt Campbell in past years and DC
worker Paula this year.

Jerry Palmer, of Fort Wayne, collects leather jackets and boots as a hobby and
lends them out to 2WW every year. Palmer's company, J. P. Audio, supplies and
mans lighting and sound equipment for events throughout Indiana, including
several large Taylor concerts. i

Open house visitors can listen to music, watch I

movies, and enjoy food and non-alcoholic drinks from i
a bar set up in the lounge. "People come to see the
guys, laugh at their friends trying to be tough and to
throw on a jacket and have their pictures taken,"
Jacobson says. "Overall, it's just a celebration of
Harley Davidson, the people who ride them, the
clothes that those people wear, and the image that the
whole thing carries with it."

take me out To tneball game ^^

Walking by the Wengatz lawn on a Sunday night, you might hear
cheers and singing. And you might see 14 men running around bare-
foot. You might even ask, "What is happening here?" What you are
witnessing is Third East's "Big Red Bat" tradition.

One day during his freshman year, sophomore Jamie Ostrander was
reminiscing about his childhood love for plastic bats and whiffle
balls. So he and his roommate. Davis Evans, went out to buy them.
Ostrander says, "It seemed like it would be a good wing tradition."

Thus, "Big Red Bat" began. The guys get together on warm
Sunday evenings between 9 and 10 p.m. to play a barefoot game of
whiffle ball, with pizza boxes serving as bases. "We always sing the
"National Anthem" before we start — that's another tradition,"
Ostrander says. Between the 3rd and 4th innings, the members of
Third East stop for a stretch and sing "Take Me Out to the Ball
Game," usually led by a fellow wing member who is up on the wing,
sticking his head out of a window.

"Big Red Bat" is just one of many crazy wing traditions around
campus. Ostrander says, "It's a fian way to relieve the tension of the
beginning of the week. ..we highly recommend it."

For most people, the word "outhouse" brings to
mind an unsturdy wooden shack, a foul odor and
plumbing that consists of nothing more than a hole
in the ground. But to the men of Third Center
Wengatz, the outhouse represents their Taylor home.

People began calling Third Center the outhouse at
least tlve years ago, according to PA Greg Hall. The
tradition started "solely based on the fact that Third
Center does not have a bathroom," Hall says. Men
from other wings jokingly theorized that the utility
closet on the wing was really an outhouse, and the
name stuck.

Hall chose to incorporate the name into his wing
theme and decorations. The name tags on each door
have a photograph of a different outhouse, and the
men constructed a large cardboard outhouse to dec-
orate for the Wengatz Hall Christmas open house.
Also, the backs of the wing shirts contain a floor
plan with a hole to indicate the outhouse.

These wing decorations were created based on the
wing verse from Ephesians 4, "representing the fact
that we're all different, but we're all outhouses.
We're all made in God's image, " Hall explains.

On Sunday morning, October 17, PA Jason Courter laid face
down on the pavement in the Hartford City Square. His friends
duct-taped him to the ground, and he waited. Back at Taylor, in
the Wengatz Hall lounge, his date received a clue that said,
"Kids pick on me, now the pavement is all 1 see." She and 27
other women were driven to the Hartford City Square and told to
find their dates. Thus began Third West Wengatz's Octoberfest
1999.

Octoberfest is a long-standing tradition on Third West, one
Courter estimates to be at least 1 5 years old. After all the women
discovered their dates' identities, the entire group drove to
Andrew Fennig's farm. The rest of the day consisted of a pump-
kin carving contest, hayrides, a maze in the bam made of bales
of straw and a cookout complete with a keg of root beer. "The
cleaning ladies saw it on our wing and thought it was real beer.
Someone told our hall director, and he just laughed," Courter
recounts. In a different activity from previous years, the men of
Third West also taught their dates to fire shotguns by lining up
the carved pumpkins once the contest was over. Each of the
attendees received a t-shirt to commemorate the occasion.

Octoberfest once again drew a large number of participants.
"All the guys on the wing make an effort to come," Courter
explains. "It's something that everyone looks forward to."

off campus

on my own

I've planned since my freshman year to live off-campus my
senior year. Back then it seemed so adult to me — signing a
lease, buying groceries, paying bills. It still seems pretty adult to
me, and in many ways it's very different from dorm life. I loved
dorm life, by the way. The strange thing is, I like paying bills. I
don't like spending the money, but I like the feeling of indepen-
dence when I write those checks each month. I like buying gro-
ceries and learning how to cook. I like not thinking about open
house hours. I love entertaining. In a few months, I'm going to
be living on my own in an apartment in the Chicago area, hun-
dreds of miles from my family and the only house I've ever lived
in. Somehow, I think this living off-campus is the perfect
transition.

richard alien farmer
dean of the chapel

'carpe farmer!'

a dazzling beginning

"Look up at me and receive the benediction," is one
Richard Allen Farmer, dean of the chapel, phrase that
most students will never forget.

But here's a new one to remember: "I am a lover of
Christ who is a fun guy!"

A man who calls flying his own plane from Dallas,
Texas to Santa Barbara, Cal., over the mountains and
deserts of New Mexico and Arizona, "especially exhil-
arating," Farmer says, "I wouldn't call myself a thrill
seeker, but I do want to live life fiiUy." Having earned
his pilots' license in 1989 and his instrument rating a
couple of years later, there's a lot to Farmer that students
would never imagine. His polished speech and manner
not only disguise his New York City ghetto roots, but
also his love of the exotic.

Aside from flying planes. Farmer is a certfied scuba
diver and used to ride a motorcycle, but Farmer also has
owned animals that are usually found only in zoos. He
says, "Aminals have always fascinated ne and primates,
in particular, seemed to be the frontrunners. I bought,
over time, six monkeys and a chimpanzee simply
because I could and wanted the joy of raising them." He
has also owned a ferret and a colony of 26 hamsters.

But what is most important to Farmer comes out in
his sermons - his music, his ministry and his family. He
often speaks of wife, Rosemary, and son, Timothy.
Farmer met Rosemary in .San Diego, Calif, in July of
1980. He says, "I was the guest preacher at her home
church that weedend, and her pastor - who is her uncle
- thought she and I should meet. We liked each other
immediately. After nearly a year of dating, we were
married at the St. Stephen's Church of God in Christ in
San Diego, by the same uncle who saw to it that we
met."

Since then, the couply adopted their son when he
was three weeks old. About Timothy's entrance into the
Farmer family. Farmer says, "We had problems con-
ceiving naturally and decided to choose one of the many

children 'out there' who needed a loving family. We
were made aware of Timothy's birth and chose him. We
use the term 'chosen child' rather that 'adopted' and
sense that God used us to spare Timothy from a life that
might have been very difficult."

fri turn, the woman who Fanner attributes to guiding
his life is his mother. Now 69 and still living in New
York City, Farmer's mother is described by Farmer as
"one of the most generative, energetic people I know. I
greatly admire her. She made our growing up lots of
fun. She was affectionate, detemiined and industrious."

Fanner's mother also saw to it that he took piano
lessons beginning at age 11. He says, "Duke Ellington
titled his autobiography "Music is My Mistress." I
understand that. Music has been a love of mine since I
was a child. Having the privilege of private lessons
placed me in another world." And his musical interest
is still strong today.

Having eamed his Bachelor of Music degree in 1 975
for piano and voice. Fanner has combined that musical
love with his Master of Divinity degi-ee and his love for
the Lord to create RAF (Richard Allen Fanner)
Ministries, "a church renewal ministry that uses expos-
itory preaching and music to stimulate the worldwide
body of followers of Jesus Christ, one gi'oup at time,"
which he employs on Taylor's campus, as well as across
the country.

"My call to ministry was clear, though non-di'amat-
ic. I was keenly aware that God had given me two vis-
ible gifts. I could clearly communicate truth verbally
and musically. I knew from my early teen years that
these vehicles of preaching and music would be the
ones God would use." Such has mng true, as Fanner is
as well-known for his leading chapel attendees in a
hymn, or ending a sermon with a song, as he is for his
open-eyed benedictions, during which he "look[s] into
the eyes of the faithful and send[s] them out."

In 1891.
Thaddeus
C. Reade
became
president of Taylor University.
Reade brought many new ideas
to Taylor. One of his biggest
enhancements to the campus was
the addition of a bible training
school. It provided a three-year
program for ministers, and two-
year programs for missionaries
and for lay preachers.
New courses in theology were

a great

ofwrtnesses

also added to the curriculum.
Students had a choice of exeget-
ical. historical, systematic and
practical theology.

Reade was also known for
being the man who introduced
Samuel Morris, an African stu-
dent, to Taylor University. He
had visions of Morris experienc-
ing an unquestioning change
which would impact the campus,
and that is exactly what
occurred in Morris' life. By
1924, Reade had written and
sold over 200,000 copies of
Sammy Morris' biography.

The university suffered a lead-
ership crisis when President
Thaddeus C. Reade died in
1902.

i»

When you think of Ireland, what comes to
mind? Of course, the beautiful countryside,
castles and kissing the Blarney Stone, but
what about a population that is less than
one percent Christian? During the summer
of 1998, Vance Maloney, associate profes-
sor of psychology, along with nine Taylor
students, recognized the spiritual depravity
of Ireland and spent a month in Dublin on a
mission trip. The students earned four hours
of cross cultural credit doing survey
research by asking the Irish, "Where does
hope come from?" The answers provided
open doors to witnessing opportunities for
the Taylor students.

"It is so important to get a different look at

by Nicole Schulz

the world, away from a North American
viewpoint," Maloney commented. "Ireland is
a great place to experience a new culaire and
get involved in ministry."

With Ireland being so economically stable,
it is rarely thought of as needing any help.
With Maloney's help. Taylor now realizes
the country's spiritual need, and thus devel-
oped year-round programs which provide
credit for students of any major. According to
Maloney, spending a January term or a
semester in Ireland is not only a great chance
to experience an amazing culture, but also a
prime opportunity to minister to an Irish pop-
ulation in need of finding hope in life through
Jesus Christ.

Ireland is a great

place to experience a

new culture and get

involved in ministry.

What was your favorite

part of the Christian

Education Retreat?

"I remember the fear yet privilege as a fresh-
man when everything was new, and then the
fear and privilege as a senior to plan for the
freshman."'

— Josh McMullen

"Retreats are a unique plus to being in the
Christian education program here at Taylor. We
get to know brothers and sisters, who otherwise
may have just been faces in a classroom. I think
the retreats serve to provide a more connected,
personal feel to the Christian education pro-
gram and also serve to excite vision to under-
classmen and encouragement to upperclassmen
as we all join together in a more informal,
intentional atmosphere."

— Lora Erickson

The retreat has been one of the highlights of
my time at Taylor, getting away from campus
and being with some fun, godly people. Faye
and Dr. Lay have poured themselves into it ...
it is a real testimony of how much they care
and how dedicated they are."

— Jayson Palm

"I love Christian education retreats and the
Christian education program in general
because the ultimate end of man (to glorify
God) is always set before us, and the means
to do so — drawing into a deeper relationship
with Him — is cultivated by an environment
of 'connecting,' late night burrito runs, prayer
and praises, rice pilaf, being poured into by
Faye, Dr. Lay, and Phil and Matt Barcalow's
favorite thing ... square dancing."

The hardest part of
student teaching

for me was coming

back and being a

college kid again.

— Kyle Romine

Students getting real life experience
in the local school systems are

Student teaching could be regarded as a sort of mission impossible
assignment. Each year a few daring seniors venture into the great wide
world of student teaching. Leaving the Taylor bubble behind, they
boldly go into the land of spit wads, note passing and bladder impaired
children. They enter the public school system with one goal: to inspire
young minds with knowledge. Some have the experience of a lifetime,
others leave wondering why they ever thought they were mature in
junior high.

Kyle Romine is one of Taylor's intrepid adventurers. This fall, Kyle
student taught in Huntington. He taught three musical education class-
es and a sixth grade choir in the junior high, as well as a concert and a
show choir in the high school. Kyle admitted that, at first, he was ner-
vous student teaching. But by the end of the third week, he loved it.
Kyle developed a wonderful relationship with his students, especially
the high schoolers. He helped with many of the extra rehearsals for the
show choir and was able to get to know the students on a one-on-one
basis. Kyle shared, "High schoolers these days aren't as bad as you
think they are. The 'problem kids' are the ones I was closest to after I
broke through to them."

Through his teaching experience, Kyle learned to be more creative
in the classroom and developed patience. He also found himself apply-
ing ideas and things he learned in school that he never thought he
would use. Kyle has followed up with his students. The show choir is
perfonning in Disney World this summer, and Kyle hopes to be able to
go see them. Kyle said, "The hardest part of student teaching for me
was coming back and being a college kid again."

deep in thought

(below) Junior Tim Walter and freshmen
Joshua Benteman and James
Immordino attempt to figure out the
math question of the week posted over
a drinking fountain in Nussbaum.

Some may balk at the idea of voluntarily spending extra
out-of-class time to solve complicated math equations.
But that is exactly what Matthew DeLong, associate pro-
fessor of mathematics, hopes students will do. If you are
a regular in Nussbaum, or even if you've accidentally
wandered through it before, you may have noticed the
math Problem of the Week posted on the walls or bulletin
boards of the building. DeLong finds the problems in
books, on the Internet, or sometimes makes them up in
order to challenge students and to "remind people that
math can be fun," he said. "Sometimes they forget that in
the classroom."

If math isn't your thing, then trying to solve the
Problem of the Week could seem like a daunting task. But
DeLong said that, though some of the questions were
geared toward those who are majoring in a math-related
field, others are simply a matter of using basic counting
and logic skills. He tries to maintain a balance by making
them about half-and-half

And, of course, no one would ask for extra work with-
out providing incentives. Each week, the correct answers
that were turned in are collected, and one winner was
drawn from the pool to receive a free Ivanhoes' shake.
Some teachers also gave extra credit to their students who
correctly answer the Problem of the Week. Juniors Shawn
Alspaugh and David Aukemian have correctly answered
1 1 of the 13 problems — more than anyone else.

DeLong hopes to do the same thing again next year, so
if you missed it this year, there is still time to brush up on
your multiplication tables and review the quadratic for-
mula. Who knows? Maybe that free shake could be
yours.

Many students don't know about all of the research that
is happening in the physics department. Here is the
run-down:

• HEN A (High Energy Neutral Atom imager): HENA is currently
the highest priority project and is in the late stages of design. HENA
will fly on the IMAGE (Imager from Magnetopause to Aurora
Global Exploration) Satellite and will image the neutral atoms that
are produced by ring currents.

• DROPPS (The Distribution and Role of Particles in the Polar
Summer mesosphere using Coordinated Rocket, Radar and Lidar
Techniques): DROPPS consists of two rockets that will be launched
in Norway toward one noctilucent cloud and one polar mesospheric
summer echo. The research department is under contract to build a
particle charge/mass spectrometer that will be mounted in the nose
cone of the rocket.

• SEPS (Source/Loss-Cone Energetic Particle Spectrometer): The
SEPS instrument is located on the POLAR satellite despun platfomi
along with the auroral imagers, and is independent of the other CEP-
PAD sensors. SEPS consists of two independent telescopes that
measure both the energetic electron, and ion fluxes in the vicinity of
the magnetic field-aligned loss, and source cone regions with high
sensitivity, and with fine angular and time resolution.

• SPADUS (Space Dust and Energetic Particle Experiment): In the
near-Earth space, both orbital debris and natural (cosmic) particles
contribute to the particulate environment (Tuzzolino et al., 1992).

The present-day lack of quantitative measurements of the tlux,
velocity/trajectory and time characteristics of small debris particles
continues to hamper the development of reliable evolutionary mod-
eling of orbital debris, and the need for these data remains as an
important goal in this field. The SPAce DUSt (SPADUS) experiment
addresses this need, providing important information on: a) the
orbital characteristics and possible sources of near-Earth cosmic
dust and b) the mass distribution of meteor-stream particles that may
be encountered.

• VLF (Very Low Frequency Receiver): The VLF (Very Low
Frequency) Station at Taylor detects VLF radio waves emitted by
lightning. These waves are of low enough frequency that they are in
the audio range. This is why we can easily, translate them into
sound. When lightning flashes, it puts out these VLF waves which
can do two things. They can retlect back and forth between the
ground and the E-Layer of the Ionosphere. These are called sferics
and are veiy common. The second thing it can do is get caught in a
"duct" along a magnetic field line and travel several earth radii out
into space before returning to earth on the opposite hemisphere
(geomagnetically speaking). These trapped waves are called
whistlers because, when received, they output a whistling sound,
starting at a high tone and dropping to a low tone over the time
index of about a second.

• TU Solar Car Racing Team: A student lead attempt to built a vehi-
cle powered by converting the sun radiation to electricity that will
be able to race cross-country in Sunrayce '99.

the Charleses
father/daughter

in my heart

there rings a melody

He leans back in his chair and kicks his Nikes up onto
his tidy desk. Books line the left side of his office and
his computer whirs silently as he begins the story of the
past two years. All of a sudden Dr. Charles is not the
professor that I have come to know, but a father with a
story.

Last semester I had Dr. J. Daryl Charles for
Contemporary Issues, and it was well known in the buzz
of classroom rumors that there was a reason he was
occasionally missing classes: the reason was his family,
and especially an unnamed daughter, off on the East
Coast.

We now know her as Melody, a radiant, godly,
bio/pre-med freshman who says, "God is faithful," when
asked about her story.

It began two-and-a-half years ago when Taylor
University, Upland, expressed interest in employing Dr.
Charles as a philosophy professor. When Melody sensed
that there was change on the horizon, she threw a "pre-
emptive strike," as Dr. Charles called it, and asked her
parents to "promise me that I can finish high school" at
Mt. Hebron High School in EUicott City, a suburb of
Baltimore, Md.

Dr. and Mrs. Charles decided to take Melody's
request very seriously. Considering the needs of their
two sons, Ian and Jesse, they decided to accept the job

on a trial basis. For the fall semester of 1997, Dr.
Charles was flying between Upland, where he rented an
apartment, to Maryland every other weekend. Spring
break and summers helped the Charleses to catch their
breath and treasure every moment when the family
could be together.

The Charles' church in Ellicott City was very impor-
tant during the two years that Dr. Charles decided to
commute. Dr. Charles says that they could not have
done it "without the church's support, blessing and
involvement."

And even though both Melody and her father are
"thrilled about the choice" to keep her in the school
where she began to excel academically, socially and
spiritually, the Charleses realize that the situation is not
ideal for every family. But Dr. Charles notes, "This is
what God asked of us... [He] gives grace," for the situa-
tion that is not normative. I smile to think that when
Dr. Charles gets up from behind his desk tonight and
gets in his car to go home, it will be home ... a wife and
two sons in Muncie, Melody now in Olson Hall on
campus.

"Beginnings for Melody are not easy. For none of us
are they easy, " Dr. Charles remarks. But with familial
love like theirs, life for Melody, Ian and Jesse may ring
sweeter.

Mark Lora contemplates the best response to an
ethical scenario at the Ethics Bowl meet that took
place in Indianapolis at the end of October.

How do you compete against other teams
based on ethics? Six students learned exactly
how that can be done this year, as members of
Taylor's second Ethics Bowl team.

The team consisted of seniors Mark Lora,
Lori Nye, Erin Pickett and Matt Rohrs. Juniors
Seth Corduan and Dan Bubar alternated for the
two bowls. The first competition was held at
the end of October in Indianapolis, and the
team placed third. The second took place in
Washington, D.C., where, according to Pickett,
the team finished "in the middle of the pack."

Taylor's involvement in the Ethics Bowl
started last year, when Wally Roth, professor of
computing and systems science, asked students
in his computer science ethics class to be mem-
bers of the team. This year, however, the invi-
tation was extended to all majors. The team
was represented by majors including computer
science, business systems, political science and
biology.

So, what exactly is an ethics bowl? Pickett
said, "It's kinda hard to explain if you've never
seen it. It's like a debate, but with ethical
issues." Unlike a debate, however, there is not
always an adversary. She said, "We were given
a question and then had full reign on what we
wanted to say. We had to be able to explain
why we thought the way we did. After that, we
were scored on how well we were able to

answer.

A few months before each of the matches, the
team was given a list of ethical scenarios. The
members divided them up and researched the
answers. Then they got together to discuss the
answers and, as Pickett said, "hone them
down." At the actual Ethics Bowl, some of the
quesfions were asked, but not all of them.

The questions ranged greatly in subjects dis-
cussed. One scenario asked whether, after an
abortion protester makes one comment to
someone entering an abortion clinic, if the per-
son asks to be left alone, the First Amendment
requires the protester to stay at least 1 5 feet
away. Pickett said that the team did "really
well on this one." The team answered that it
was constitutional because the First
Amendment protects both parties. Also, the
Taylor participants pointed out that the protest-
er would still be able to carry on a conversation
with the person, since 15 feet is not a great
distance.

Through the Ethics Bowl, the students
were challenged to look more deeply at what
they believed. Though they had time to pre-
pare their answers, the team members still
had to think quickly. Pickett said, "We actu-
ally knew what the competition would be,
but we would still write out our main points
together. '

"She has been a great source of encouragement

"Dr. Rediger is not only an outstanding and
renown chorale conductor, but she has also been
a role model and friend to students. I have thor-
oughly enjoyed getting to know her on an inter-
personal level. Her poise and professionalism are
balanced by a very approachable spirit. I admire
not only her commitment to excellence in music,
but her goal of giving glory to the Lord in all

With all of the normal academic pressures in
additiooito busy sqbedules, study tables provide

Tor atTTreTes

The life of a college student is busy. Period. Juggling a schedule filled
with tests, committee meetings, papers, coffee dates and wing activities is
enough to leave any co-ed exhausted. But for student athletes, even more
variables are thrown into the mix. The demands of practices, training and
games, in addition to the activities of normal college life, can make it diffi-
cult to achieve a comfortable balance. But the student-athlete study table is
helping Taylor's athletes do just that.

In its second year of existence, the study table program requires fresh-
men and transfer students to spend a minimum often hours in the library
each week of their first semester at Taylor. For many athletes, the program
simply holds them accountable to their academics. When senior basketball
player Nick David transferred to Taylor from lUPUI last year, he found the
program allowed him to "get out of the dorm and have a quiet place to
study. "

The study table program also requires each participant to meet with his
or her professor at two points throughout the semester. Meetings such as
these were vital components of Amber McClure's experience with the pro-
gram. As a member of the volleyball team, McClure missed 80 percent of
her Friday classes to travel to games during her freshman year. But these
required meetings helped foster relationships between McClure and her
professors. "It was good to get to know [my professors]," she explains, "so
they could start to understand me in order to help me understand their
class."

Barb Davenport, director of learning services and student/athletic
Academic Support, who helped design the study table layout, hopes the
effects of the program will extend beyond the one-semester requirement.
"We believe that if you start out with good study habits, they'll carry
through for you," she asserts.

Davenport's goal for the program is exemplified in sophomore Andy
Flanigan's experience with the football study table. "The traits I've picked
up from the program will definitely stick with me throughout the rest of
my college career," he remarks.

But Davenport believes that the greatest aspect of the study table pro-
gram is that it conveys Taylor's responsibility to its athletes. It demon-
strates, she asserts, that "Taylor's not just using [its athletes] for sports
scores and winning, but to help them do well and graduate," once again
proving Taylor's commitment to excellence.

Freshman Twila Jones and senior Jill TenHarmsel, like many students,
take advantage of Taylor's resources. Library computers are used large-
ly for word processing, e-mailing and web research, as well as for class
programs that are only installed on library and Reade lab computers.

good working environment

Senior Kim Smitli shares a laugh with a fellow student in the library computer area. The
library is often regarded as an extremely social atmosphere.

How Y2K affected Taylor

• January term was pushed back for one week as a precautionary measure, so
students had an extra week of Christmas break. Thus graduation was held a
week later than usual.

• Lighthouse trips were scheduled for destinations within the United States,
rather than the usual trips oversees.

• Information Services spent $60,000 replacing and updating computers.

• IS prepped its department for all kinds of situations, so that it would be ready
if something happened.

• IS finished the effort by powering-down all of the campus' computers. Art
Mahan, associate vice president for information resources, said, "Taylor was
no longer visible from the Internet."

• The biggest result was that a handfial of computers had problems with disci-
plined, unique software, which Mahan said was simply because the programs
were used by small amounts of people and were unknown to IS.

How Y2K affected the world

• People stockpiled canned goods and bottled water. Widespread panic ensued
in the weeks leading up to the big day.

• Millions were glued to the television as the apple dropped in New York City.

• The effects were very small compared to those that were expected. There
were only a few problems associated with Y2K.

coUeymore
bible professor

living through

more than meets the eye

Bam! Bam! Bam! Professor Ron Collymore's thick fist meets the
wooden desktop in three rapid successions. The sound echos through
the desk's metal base and resonates throughout the classroom.

"What's that brother's name in the back?" CoUymore asks. Timidly,
a blonde-headed freshman looks up and quietly ventures, "Me?"

"Yeah you! What's your name," Collymore demands.

"Uh, it's Jon, sir"

"Jon, eh? Where you from?"

Now with slightly more courage, Jon replies, "Kansas."

"Kansas! Jon from Kansas! What's your major, Jon?"

"Computer science."

"Computer science! So you're not a people person are you? You're
one of those computer people!"

Jon nods, half smiling, unsure how to respond to Collymore's barrage
of questions.

Still unsatisfied with Jon's reaction, Collymore probes further. "You
got a girlfriend, Jon?"

"Well, uh, no I guess."

"You want one?" Collymore asks, grinning.

Emphatically shaking his head, Jon answers silently.

"Jon from Kansas," Collymore muses, " ... interesting."

Jon wasn't the only student to get the third degree. Most of
Collymore's students have been asked the same four questions: name,
hometown, major and dating status. Although Jon didn't find the ordeal
funny, in his own way, Collymore was showing he cared enough to ask.
At the very least, he had a good way to get the class' attention.

Fall semester's old testament survey classes didn't have the opportu-
nity to experience Collymore's unique classroom personality, however
The professor was admitted to Ball Memorial Hospital in early
September due to several serious medical problems. After multiple
surgeries and weeks in intensive care, Collymore returned home.
Though he returned to teaching in the spring, he is still recovering.

Describing this year as the most challenging of his life, Collymore
said his experience taught him, "God doesn't forsake us... ." After
undergoing a temporary collastamy to manage a perforated colon, and
brain surgery due to a malfunctioning shunt, he has much to be thank-
ful for. Aside from emotional and physical scars Collymore was left
with, including near blindness, the professor said that he believes the

"scariest thing, but yet the biggest blessing" is that he doesn't remem-
ber the majority of the ordeal. "God's been good to me. That's what I
remember," he said. "God's been faithflil, God is faithful — the fat ■
lady hasn't sung yet. So, I know it's not over."

Teaching two sections of biblical literature this spring, despite doc-
tor's advice, Collymore said returning to classes has been good for him,
and "hopefully good for the students." He admitted, "First semester, I
was bored out of my wits. I enjoy my students more than anything else;
students give me life and give me hope. They make you realize that ,,
you can do things you don't think are possible."

Though it has not prevented his return to the lectern, Collymore's
failing eyesight has presented an obstacle to his doctorate completion.
Currently in the midst of his dissertation, Collymore said he "was get-
ting a little discouraged" because of his eyesight, clinically called low
vision. With the aid of a new computer and 19-inch monitor provided
by the Coalition for the Blind and Deaf, Collymore soon will get back
on the doctoral track. He was also given a text-magnifying device for
reading printed materials.

Despite his small anny of high-tech helpers, Collymore admits that
his progress is "going slow, but it's going." Collymore said he hopes to
finish his dissertation by December 2000 or January 2001 . He added,
"Getting back to the students and seeing all the difficulties they over-
come helps me to know that, with God's help, I will overcome my dif-
ficulties and get my dissertation done."

Academics aside, Collymore said that he plans to make summer his
"rejuvenation time." Anxious to return to his usual exercise regimen,
Collymore said that he'll be back in the gym as soon as possible. He
added that he also plans to spend as much time as possible with his
son, Ruben, who, according to Collymore, is "doing fine," aside from
being "a little shaken up by all the stuff I went through." As for next
year, Collymore said that he will continue to "get better, teach Biblical
literature, and finish his dissertarion. Above all, Collymore is thankful
for the chance to do so. He said that he owes a special debt to the peo-
ple in Taylor's business department who worked diligently to raise
financial support to help pay for his medical care. The person he
wished to thank most, however, was the Lord. "God carried me through
all those surgeries," he said. "He did more than just help me. He car-
ried me."

worked at Taylor for nine
years, as Olson hall direc-
tor and director of new

resigned at the end of the
year to be a stay at home
mom.

After nine years, Jane Bowser bids a fond farewell to Taylor University. Jane will be leaving
her job to become a stay-at-home mother to her adopted daughter. Kendall Renee, who was
bom on October 13, 1999. Jane started her Taylor career as Olson Hall director, a position that
she held for five years and will probably be best remembered for her work as the director of
new student orientation. She refers to her new role as "director of Baby Bowser orientation."

Jane's favorite part of her job here at Taylor has been getting to know so many students, fac-
ulty and staff Jane says that she would love to come back to Taylor
someday.

"I'm one of those people who bleeds purple and gold," she said.
Leaving is bittersweet for Jane, but "definitely worth it." Other high-
lights for Jane included the Welcome Weekend festivities, as well as
the skits put on by the Probe Players.

"The square dance is always one of my favorite parts of Probe," Jane
said. She said that it is "the overall enthusiasm that Probe leaders gener-
ate on this campus" that will be one of her greatest memories.

The Grille. For seniors and a num-
ber of other lucky Taylor students, it
is a safe haven, a place of refuge, an
escape from the bland regimen of the
dining commons. And for Penny
Milholland, retail manager of the
Grille, this refuge has been both her
job and her home for more than five
years.

Unbeknownst to many students,
Milholland is the force that makes the
Grille run. Her numerous duties
include staffing, placing food orders,
cash register reports, care package
reports, as well as special events man-
agement. But her main job, she said,
"is helping students get fed."

And with an average of 300 to 400
people who eat at the Grille daily, not
to mention over 100 students who
receive sack lunches, Milholland has
her hands full. In fact, according to
Milholland, Taylor students go
through 10 cases of burgers and fries,
eight to nine cases of chicken, 60
cases of chips and 18 to 19 trays of
cookies and desserts - each week.

Milholland said she enjoys the student union's Grille atmosphere, although she feels
that it is too small and needs to be updated. "[The Grille] is just the right place for me
though," she added. "My job matches well with my lifestyle."

Though Milholland admitted that working at the Grille can sometimes be monotonous
for both her and her staff, she said that getting to know the students is what makes the job
worthwhile. "The girls really know our customers," she said, adding that a Grille worker
is often familiar enough with students that she can hand them their favorite sandwiches
without even being asked. Most of all, Milholland said that she enjoys the faces she
knows. She added, "I really like the kids."

looking over the charts

Dr. John Kennedy studies the chart of the student whom he will now see. Kennedy has been the
health center physician since 1996, but formed a full-time practice on campus just this year.

The doctor is in at the Haakonsen HeaUh Center ... full time. On Jan. 1, after operating his practice
from the Upland Health and Diagnostic Center for two years, Dr. John Kennedy pennanently relo-
cated his office to the campus health center where he now operates on a full-time basis.

Kennedy, who has served the health needs of the Taylor community since 1996, initially began at
Haakonsen, but moved to the newly constructed Health and Diagnostic Center in 1998. Now he is
excited to return to the environment he calls his favorite. "There are a lot of personal advantages to
working here full-time," Kennedy comments. "The nursing staff is excellent, and the people are so
friendly."

But his increased appearance on campus offers advantages for Taylor, too, including greater con-
venience and accessibility — for student and staff alike. Although the morning hours are usually
reserved for patients in the surrounding community, Kennedy is still much more available in emer-
gencies. He is more accessible to the nursing staff, as well, as Annette Payne, R.N. points out. "If we
have questions about something, we can bounce them off of him without having to wait."

Kennedy's more permanent presence at the Haakonsen Health Center has also facilitated greater
interaction between the Taylor and Upland communities. "It's great PR for Taylor," Lou Roth, R.N.,
remarks. "So many people from the community come in, and the students who are in here will talk
with them while they wait."

The doctor's full-time status also contributes to a greater sense of security among students.
Sophomore Amanda Nelson explains that Dr. Kennedy's more permanent position "makes students
feel more confident in the treatment they're receiving."

conference

The last time a Taylor men's tennis team won a confer-
ence championship was in 1996, when this year's seniors
were freshmen. After two years of starting with high
expectations only to come up short, the outcome of this
season was anybody's guess.

The addition of new players was the variable that would
detemiine whether the team would finally live up to its
potential, slip into another second place finish or worse.

These questions were answered quickly. The 1999 sea-
son was characterized by dominance. After the first few
matches of the season, there was little doubt that this team
would be a force to be reckoned with in conference.

By the time the conference tournament came around, this
seasoned team blew through all of its opponents to claim
the conference crown and earn a spot in the national tour-
nament in the spring. The new players proved to be the
missing ingredient needed for a conference win.

The 1999 season brought major changes for the women's tennis team.
Returning only two players from last year, this team was one of the
youngest to take the courts in the 22-year history of women's tennis at
Taylor.

Along with four new players, the team also gained two new coaches,
Dara and Todd Syswerda. According to this year's captain, Emily Tipton,
one of the team's main goals was to "win the matches where we were the
better team."

The highlight of the year came at the conference tournament in
Indianapolis. Facing Goshen, one of the toughest teams in the conference,
the Trojans held out until the last match, finally losing 5-4.

Beyond the win/loss columns and tournaments, the girls also enjoyed
"sharing with teammates, helping each other grow in Christ," Tipton said.
"This, more than anything, brought the team together."

a spectacular

The 1999 Trojans were statistically the most
dominant football team to ever represent Taylor
University. In Taylor football's 51 -year history,
no team has ever advanced as far in the national
playoffs or had a better record. The Trojans
rolled to 9-1 in the regular season and were
ranked as high as 5th on the NAIA national poll.
Jim Wheeler Memorial Field was the site of the
first playoff game to be hosted by a Taylor foot-
ball team. It was also the site of the first playoff
win in team history.

"This season was very successful," senior run-
ning back Quinn Hirschy said. "Our team was
like no other in the country, because we came
together as one."

Indeed, this year's Trojans were better than
most teams in the country. However, after defeat-
ing Missouri Valley in the first round of playoffs,
Taylor traveled to Kentucky to face the No. 1

having been involved for three years on the
Student Union Board of Taylor University, he
was elected president his senior year.

At the age of 22, he was diagnosed with
cancer. Receiving such terrible news was one
of the toughest things he had ever dealt with.
He was constantly asking God why he had
allowed this to happen to him. After strug-
gling with so many questions, he realized that
the only thing he could do was live every day
for Christ — and that is exactly what he did.

James Wheeler died of cancer on Sept. 19.
In 1981, the Wheeler Memorial Football

talented Taylor graduate.

This was a landmark year for Taylor volleyball. The
season saw several changes and some new faces, plus
the result was one of the most successful records in
Taylor volleyball history.

With a preseason ranking of 1 1 th in the NAIA and a
46-7 record the previous year, the Lady Trojans were
expected to have another dominating season this year.
They didn't disappoint. The team pounded through the
regular season and regional tournament to earn another
berth in the NAIA nationals for the third time in
school history.

"This was the most talented team I have ever played
on, even on the bench," senior Brittany Huyser said.
She added that along with a desire to win. the team
"stressed unity" and "serving God."

This year's team also boasted first team All-
Conference selection Amy Croft, honorable mention
All-Conference Caterine Leiva and All-Conference
Player of the Year Brittany Huyser.

The Lady Trojans finished the season with a record
of37-13.

worth the wait

here hy the power of prayer

It has been a long day. Caterine Leiva has
been dealing with a dilemma. She has achieved
her dream of attending a Christian university, but
now is faced with a problem that could jeopar-
dize that dream. Her home country of Honduras
wants her and her volleyball skills returned. She
must now choose between giving up her dream,
thus returning home, or staying at Taylor and
never being allowed admittance in to Honduras
again.

A few hours later, it is time for floor prayer on
the first floor of Swallow Robin, and now
Caterine (or "Cat," as her friends call her) is
smiling. Earlier, she asked for prayer about the
issue, and her floor mates pledged to remember
her request throughout the week.

When her friends ask for an update on the situ-
ation, Caterine simply says, "The president just
called and told me it was okay." The other girls
are stunned. "The president of what?" one asks.
"Honduras," she says matter-of-factly.

This event is just the latest in Caterine's long
journey toward her goal of graduating from a
Christian university. For most prospective stu-
dents, the choice of a college is a process that
takes only a few months. For Caterine, coming
to Taylor this year is the answer to a 10-year
prayer.

Caterine has been dreaming of playing volley-
ball for Taylor since 1989. It was during that
summer that Taylor's track team visited her
hometown of Tegucupigalpa during a missions
trip. Though she was already a Christian,
Caterine was greatly impressed by the team's
witness.

One member in particular had a profound
impact on her Christian life. He prayed with her
and told her that, if she really wanted to come to
Taylor, she should start praying immediately for
God's provision in the matter.

Thus began a decade of prayer and hard work
for Caterine. Knowing that sports could be a
way to earn a scholarship, she worked hard at
volleyball. She eventually was selected to play
for the Honduras national team. Soon after, a
coach for Miami Dade Community College came
to Honduras to recruit players and selected
Caterine. After finishing her two years there,
she received an unexpected scholarship, making
an education possible.

Caterine has certainly taken a long road to get
to Taylor, but she is happy to have trusted God to
send her. When someone asks her how she came
to be at Taylor, she is always quick to respond
with, "I'm here because God wanted me here."

This year's women's soccer team continued with
surprising successes. In just its fourth year in exis-
tence, the team rolled to another winning season,
going 13-4. In its first four years combined, the
team is 38-24 and in the past two years, it is 23-9.

This season got off to a blazing start, as the
Trojans won their first two, then reeled off seven
straight wins after a gut-checking loss to Indiana
Wesleyan. After its last two losses of the regular
season, the team finished out with two more wins
heading into the finals.

The first two rounds of the conference tournament
brought Marian, then Goshen both of who the
Trojans soundly defeated, 5-1 and 4-1, respectively.
This set up a rematch in the finals with Indiana
Wesleyan. In this game, which sophomore Karen
Phelps called "our best game of the year," the
Trojans fought hard to avenge their earlier loss, but
eventually lost 0-2.

"We really enjoyed being together, both on and off
the field," junior Karen Staffin said. "Having such a
good season just made it even more exciting."

Ride

The 1999 Taylor men's soccer team went for a roller
coaster ride during the season. This year's team was
characterized by streaks of wins and losses, highs and
lows and battles for consistency.

The first bright spot came in the opener against
Indiana Tech where the Trojans prevailed 2-0.
However, in the following weeks, the team lost seven
matches in a row before finally ending the skid, defeat-
ing St. Mary's 1-0 and going on to win two more in a
row. The team dropped the next four, however, and
finished the regular season at 5-12.

In the conference tournament, the Trojans did show
signs of promise for next year. The team beat the
favored St. Francis in the opening round before losing
to Indiana Wesleyan, 2-1.

Junior Stuart Davis cited the team's lack of experi-
ence as a cause for its inconsistency. He added that the
team was "really tight on and off the field" and the
team "had [its] ups and downs, but we finished well."

the final

The last game of the season for this year's basketball team
came down to the last shot. Trying to repay an overtime loss that
occurred just four days prior, the Trojans played Marian to a
draw with three seconds left when a last chance three-pointer
ended the game and the season at with Taylor losing 19-14.

Senior Brian Ross saw this year's team as unique. "It was an
enjoyable season. We had the best unity I've seen in my four
years here," he said.

The 1999-2000 team displayed more than just talent. This team
was also about heart. Despite the loss of three seniors from last
season, these men refused to write it off as a "rebuilding year."
They fought hard, right out of the gate — reeling off six straight
wins to start the season and surprising many critics. In the mid-
dle of the schedule, the Trojans went through weak streaks, los-
ing three in a row before coming back to win another five
straight. Near the end of the season, the team intensified its rival-
ry with Marian College. In three contests, Taylor won the first
showdown in Odle Gymnasium 82-78 in overtime, before losing
the last regular season game in overtime and the final game on
the season-ending buzzer beater.

This year's women's basket-
ball team took steps to getting
back to the glory days of 1996
and 1997. Still a young team
dealing with injuries, the play-
ers overcame adversity and
tough losses at the beginning of
the year to finish strong.

In the MCC tournament, the
Lady Trojans plowed through
the first round and semifinals,
beating Marian and Huntington
by wide margins before losing
to St. Francis in the final game.

"We had a slow start, but we
were playing good teams,"
junior Krista Dennison said .
"Towards the middle of the sea-
son, though, we started putting
our talents together."

For junior Erin Hutton, some
of seasons' highs came when
off of the court. "The most
important part of being on the
team for me is the friendships
I've developed. We've shared
common struggles and success-
es that made us a more closely

learning the hard way

Krista Dennison is a changed woman. She smiles as she
tells her story, her hands making expressive gestures and
tossing a basketball back and forth. "I was really mean and I
knew it," she explains. "People look at me now and think
I'm crazy because Tm happy, and I really care about them."

Krista attributes all of the changes in her life to her faith
in God. She became a Christian during her senior year of
high school. She went to lunch with one of her friends and
he gave his testimony, then invited her to church. "I could
identify with hiin because he used to do some of the same
things I was doing," Krista explains.

Before she became a Christian. Krista was deeply
involved with the party scene. She confesses heavy drink-
ing and illegal drug use. "I was definitely into the secular
world," she says. "I was searching for my purpose in this
world, but I never knew it was God I was looking for."

As a result of her new faith, she lost many of her friends.
Krista is the youngest of four children in a family where no
one is a Christian, so dealing with her family was another
challenge. "It's hard to go to church by myself and see faini-
lies there," she admits. "My parents have noticed the change
in me, and they've started to ask about it more. I'm excited
to see how God works in it."

A junior on the women's basketball team, Krista is new to
Taylor this year. She played basketball at Vincennes in
Southern Indiana for two years before transferring to Taylor.
"I wanted to come to Taylor for the Christian atmosphere,"
she says.

Krista adds that Taylor is not all that she thought it would
be. After living all her life in a secular environment where
she was talking to people who knew nothing about the
gospel, she says that the Christian atmosphere at Taylor is
outside her comfort zone. But she has experienced Christian
community with her basketball teammates through team
devotions and prayer. "My teammates challenge me in my

faith," Krista says.

She smiles wider as she talks about basketball. She joined
her first team when she was eight years old, but she has
played basketball with the kids in her neighborhood all her
life. "God has used basketball to teach me lessons and help
me grow," she says.

Krista says that basketball at Taylor is very different from
basketball at Vincennes because the focus is not only on
winning. "We don't take our talent for granted. Our passion
for basketball is from God, and we play for Him. He is our
motivation," she adds.

As Krista looks forward to her final season playing col-
lege basketball, she says she has begun to think of who she
is aside from basketball. She is a sports management
major, and she would like to own a fitness center one day.
"My dream has always been to coach basketball," she
says.

In addition to her passion for basketball, Krista has a pas-
sion for evangelism. She says that her purpose in life is to
bring people to God. "It is my responsibility to let them
know how He has changed me," she explains.

Krista says the tattoo on her right ankle reminds her of
this purpose for her life. The tattoo is the Christian fish
symbol, or icthus, and Greek letters IXOYE mean "Jesus
Christ, God's son. Savior" Krista says that she has had non-
Christians ask her what it means, thinking that she belongs
to a sorority, so she uses it as a witnessing tool. "The true
meaning is a feeling. It reminds me that God is with me and
he's never going to leave. It reminds me of when I first gave
my life to Christ," Krista explains.

Krista observes that through her past, she has learned
many lessons that have made her faith stronger. "I've
learned my lesson the hard way, but it's a good way," she
says. "It just goes to show how awesome God is, that a per-
son could change this much."

1999's version of the Jarheads (as they are affectionately known
around campus) posted another competitive season and showed
ghmpses of greater things yet to come. The team was ranked as
high as third nationally and was in the race for the top spot through-
out the season. Three Jarheads won honors this season, as Gabriel
Rop was named NAIA and NCCAA Ail-American. Also earning an
NCCAA All- American nod was Tim Hoeflinger, and Mike Sandelin
was honored with a scholar athlete distinction.

"I'm pleased with our season." Said junior Tim Hoeflinger. "We
had a lot of good performances, and we are bringing back six of our
top seven runners next year to compete for the top spot."

In the final meet, the Jarheads finished 7th overall, but just 26
points shy of 3rd place, which is a narrow margin in a meet. The
team looks to close that gap next year and make a run for the crown.

running

"Girls" Cross Countiy" is a temi that is rarely heard around Taylor's
campus. Instead, one is more likely to hear about the Maddawgs, a
group of young women known as much for its chanting and barking
as for its ability to run faster than some four-legged animals.

The 1999 version of the Mad Dawgs earned on the tradition with
another successfiji season. Here is a word from team co-captains,
Kristina Ammemian and Jody Thompson.

"WE ARE THE MADDAWGS COULDN'T BE PROUDER; IF YOU
CANT HEAR US. WE LL BARK ALITTLE LOUDER!"
Even though some things change, other things remain the same.
Maddawgs always run day after day, bark loud and proud and possess
an inner desire to irk the Jarheads! We will forever be the "naked
people, " sing on Friday runs and remain friends.

This year brought about some changes in the program. This season
God led five new runners and tivo new coaches to the team. With new
leadership came differences in training strategies — what Maddawg
could forget the DUNES(!). two-a-days, 50-mile weeks, mile repeats,
tee-to-greens and Coach Cinder 's monster cookies.

Even with the changes, the Maddawgs ' unity grew stronger with
eveiy practice. Eveiy day each of us found ourselves leaving the lock-
er room after a grueling practice, physically exhausted, emotionally
stretched, yet spiritually stronger and hoping "I Will Survive. "

Our season culminated at the Conference meet, where five
Maddawgs finished under 20 minutes, making the 1999 Maddawgs the
finest women's cross coimtiy team in Taylor's history. Although we
didn 't reach our goal of winning conference, we accomplished our
primaiy goal — glorifying God through our running — and we
exceeded our expectations for overall team performance, which can be
summed up with the words of Coach Coy: "Oh Yeah! Oh, Yeah! Oh,
Yeah! "

Change is inevitable, but three things will remain steadfast: God is
the same yesterday, today and forever: cross countiy is eternal; and
we are the Maddawgs!

The 2000 Taylor golf team continued its rise
to success. Still a very young team, the Trojans
returned only two seniors this season and no
juniors. Coach Joe Romine looked to his two
seniors, Jeff Nicoson and Wes Kent, to provide
leadership this year and they came through, fin-
ishing first and third on the team, respectively,
in the regional tournament.

For the second year in a row, the team fin-
ished in second place in the Mid-Central

Conference, no small feat for a team so young.

"We had a lot more potential than we
showed this season," said sophomore Jon Fall.
"We are young and will have a chance to
mature and prove ourselves in the next couple
of years."

If the team can keep up their consistency in
the next two years, it is only a matter of time
before these underclassmen mature and become
a major contenders to win the conference.

leading in the

This year's cheerleading squad excelled despite
many challenges. Below, squad members Heather
Jaggers and Michelle Toy explain how the team
overcame the obstacles:

"We continue to shout our praise even when we 're
hemmed with troubles, because we know how trou-
bles can develop passionate patience within us, and
how that patience in turn forges the tempered steel
of virtue, keeping us alert for whatever God will do
next. "
~Romans 5:3-4 (The Message)

These verses spoke volumes to our cheerleading
squad during the 1999-2000 season. This past year
taught us what it meant to persevere when "hemmed
with troubles. " Our squad started the season with

11 members, five guys and six girls. By the end of
the season, we had lost over half of our squad for
various reasons, leaving us with only five members.
This obviously had an overwhelming effect on the
remaining members, changing the entire structure
and capabilities as a squad.

The lack of school participation, leadership
direction and overall motivation accompanied our
previous difficulties. But what Satan intends for
evil, God can use for good. Despite continued dis-
couragement, God used this season to mold us as
people of patience and perseverance in the midst of
troubles. It stretched us as cheerleaders, sisters in
Christ and children of God to focus on things other
than ourselves, looking to our Father for strength.
We will continue to shout our praise of the faithfid-
ness of the Lord!

all together

Pulling out all of the stops, the
team makes sure the crowd is
pumped for the next play at
the football game against
Anderson.

Striving to live up to the impressive record of last year, the Trojan base-
ball team managed to end up with a respectable season, despite keeping
only two seniors.

Throughout this season, the team stayed consistent, not letting a loss
here and there send it into a slump. Carrying momentum into the first
round of the conference tournament, the Trojans pulled out a hard fought
win in 13 innings against rival Indiana Wesleyan. The team finished 20-
23-1 overall and 14-13-1 in the conference.

"I thought that this was sort of a tough season," junior Scott Blackford
said. "But as the year progressed, our defense got a lot better, and we
started to hit the ball better. Overall, it was a good season, but we're hop-
ing for better things next year."

With the runaway success of the 1999 team, this year's Taylor Softball
team had much to live up to this season. Losing only two starters fi^om
the 1999 Conference championship team, this year's squad had high
hopes for another conference championship, but some close losses and a
tough schedule made for a somewhat disappointing year.

"Things just didn't come together for us." said senior Meredith Wolfe.
"The team as a whole got along well though, which was good because
had we not, it would have been a long season."

The Lady Trojans started the season strong, going 5-3 through the
first eight games. However, the team hit a ten game skid thereafter
from which they never quite fliUy recovered.

In the MCC Conference tournament as Taylor jumped out to 4-0 lead
against Indiana Wesleyan in the opening round but could not hold on,
losing 7-4. The Lady Trojans were hit by another late-game rally in
their final game against Goshen, losing 7-4 to end the 2000 season with
an overall record of 13-2 1 and a conference record of 7-7.

This year's mens' track team was a dominant force, not
only in the Mid Central Conference, but in the National
Christian College Athletic Association, as well. The 2000
season saw several records broken and another conference
championship go to the Trojans.

Senior Darren Youngstrom set two records at the Indiana
Little State Meet in Indianapolis, blazing to a time of
52.05 seconds in the 400 meter hurdles and 14.04 in the
110 meter dash. "Our team loves to compete and see the
point totals add up throughout the day," Youngstrom says.
"Coach Coy and Coach Bowers keep us going throughout
the meets and encourage us in their own ways."

For senior Sammy Siratei, this season was full of excite-
ment. "I never thought I would run for a team that made
the top three in the nation many times. I'm excited."

Not to be outdone by its male counter-
parts, the Taylor women's track team post-
ed one of their best seasons to date. The
team benefitted from experienced seniors
like Kristina Ammerman and Caroline
Stringfellow, and also by talented under-
classmen like junior Tracy Hale and fresh-
man Ursala Chase.

Intense training was the norm for this
team, and their efforts paid off this season.

The Lady Trojans finished 3rd in at the
NCCAA meet, their highest finish ever for
this event and also finished 3rd at the
MCC meet.

"Taylor track and field has been a truly
significant part of my Taylor experience,"
Caroline Stringfellow said. "I have grown
tremendously — both spiritually and and in
my running. I have made lifelong friends
and shared many unforgettable memories."

Olympic dream

shot-put on the world stage

"I feel like I can't do anything with this," the
broad-shouldered Croatian says as he looks down
at his broken foot. It is just a few days before the
track-and-field season begins, and Taylor's star
athlete in the shot-put is coming to terms with his
limits.

"I've never really been injured before in my
career. Now I have this." He speaks in grammati-
cally perfect English, his nationality showing only
by a thick accent.

If Stevimir, or Steve as he is called by most at
Taylor, can return to top form, the Trojan track
team will again be the favorite for the shot-put
event in the national meet. Even more pressing,
though, is his other reason to heal. He is headed
to Sydney, Australia, in July for the 2000 Olympic
Games.

The upcoming Olympics are the culmination of
a dream that began when Steve joined his first
track-and-field club in high school. Steve eventu-
ally became good enough at the shot-put event to
start looking for scholarships.

However, these were nearly impossible to find
in his homeland. So he headed to Canada and
eventually found a place at Taylor.

When Steve first heard about Taylor, he was
skeptical. "I thought it was a Bible school," he

says, laughing, "somewhere you go to be a priest."
Despite these apprehensions, Steve eventually
contacted the track-and-field coach, Chris Coy.

"He just found us on the web," Coy says. .
"When he first told me how far he threw, I
thought he had said nine meters, so I didn't think
I would be able to get him on here. When I talked
to him again though, I found out he had said nine-
teen meters. That's when I started getting
excited."

During the summer of 1999, Steve was able to
take his abilities one step further. At the world
university championships in Seville, Spain, he
threw the shot 65 1/2 feet. This was enough to
beat the Olympic standard by I 1/2 feet and to
secure his spot in the Olympic Games.

When asked about his thoughts on the Games,
Steve responds humbly. "I would like to be able to
compete in the afternoon," he says. "They have a
qualifying round for every event in the morning,
and then in the afternoon, they televise the finals.
I just want to be able to compete with the best in
the afternoon."

Despite Steve's concern about his injuries, he
is expected to be in top form in time for the
Olympics, getting his chance to throw in the
afternoon, as one of the best.

This year's lacrosse club team had some major suc-
cesses, while generally having a good time.

Finishing at 4-3 for the season, this fledgling sport
gained even more credibility with a victory over Ball
State. "It was great to beat a team from a much larger
school," senior Greg Storrs said. "It gave us more con-
fidence for the rest of the season."

On the heels of its big win over BSU, the team made
the most of its momentum in a win over Wheaton
College before losing to another large school,
Northwestern.

To finish out the season, Taylor played Calvin.
Losing its goalie, senior Scott Rustulka, mid-game, to
an ACL injury, Taylor was defeated. 16-10.

The 2000 season for the Taylor equestrian club was
marked by the riders' added devotion to the sport.
"This was the most committed team I've seen in four
years," senior Lori Nye said. "Our team took this sea-
son seriously, not like just another extracurricular
activity."

Coach T.J. LeBlanc and his wife Beth also showed a
strong commitment to the team, giving up their time
to improve the riders' skills. Their efforts paid off, as
Taylor sent four riders — Lori Nye, Amanda Schaffer,
Lynn Sievert and Amy Simon — to the regional horse
show.

Taylor hosted this show for the first time in seven
years at JTL Stables in Marion. The team finished
near the middle of the pack at sixth, but perfonned
well individually.

"We had some bad luck with our picks," Nye said.
"Our coach has to decide which rider's score will
count for the team before the show starts. Even
though we rode well individually, our best riders'
scores didn't always count toward our team score."

Scoring aside, the team gained some new members,
and the returning participants improved from last year.

MS KUTNOW

SWBff BODY PRESBDff

leadership

on the ^kutting' edge

We often define him as the familiar face that repre-
sents us to the faculty and as the hands that keep the
student body spinning. Actually, he is a punk from
Philly, who likes G-love and has two sisters, Jen and
Mandy. He attended senior prom with Taylor student
Dana Wilson, and, during his years at Taylor, he spent a
summer in Israel and a semester in China. But student
body president James Matthew Kutnow III has managed
to secure friends crossing class, age and gender bound-
aries throughout campus.

His good friend Phil Gallagher says, "Kutnow's just
got a great heart." And closest to James' heart is a core
group of guys that has come together over the past four
years at Taylor, of which James is a part. From the nur-
turing environment of this group rose Taylor's student
body president. Being supported by the prayers and
love of these friends, among others. James has lead the
students. As student body president, he is in charge of
Taylor Student Organization, overseeing the 1 1 branch-
es of the executive cabinet. He also attends and partici-
pates in various faculty meetings.

Alongside his responsibilities as president, James has
been planning his summer wedding to '99 graduate Erin
Johnson, a woman he describes as "beautiful and very
devoted to God. " Since his parents' move to become
full-time missionaries in Italy this year, James has
made the transition from pastor's kid to missionary's
kid. On top of all that, he is searching for a teaching
job to start after his graduation this May.

He has a philosophy about his job as president,
summed up in three words: visibility, vulnerability and
involvement. One of James' favorite parts of his job is
the time that he spends talking to and being mentored
by men such as Jay Kesler, Walt Campbell and Daryl
Yost. He says, "I am learning a lot from their experi-
ence and wisdom." And that's what it seems to be all
about — the wisdom and the example of those who have
gone before us.

In the words of Phil Gallagher, James' accomplish-
ments have been "brotherhood, friendship and vision."
Throughout the years, James' dream has been to "shape
Taylor as an output, and minister to the campus."

Many Taylor Chorale inembers ask themselves
this question as the words roll off their lips, "How
can I keep from singing?" This lyric, written by
Robert Lowry, is only one of the songs that
Chorale sang during its spring concert series to
various local churches, in addition to an Easter
break trip to New York City. Stopovers on the
Easter trip included concerts in Pennsylvania and
Ohio, with an excursion to see "Les Miserables"
in New York.

In addition to spring concerts. Chorale per-
formed for homecoming with alumni Chorale
members. But the biggest highlights of the fall
semester for Chorale was its performance of
Handel's Messiah, which was accompanied by the
Fort Wayne Philhannonic.

Reflecting on the musical group, senior Jason
Fletcher says, "It's an incredible experience glori-
fying God together." And that is the group's pur-
pose — to glorify God through vocal music.

"Don't let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to
all believers in what you teach, in the way you live, in your love, your faith and
your purity." This verse from 1 Timothy 4:12 serves as the mission verse for
Taylor Christian Artists.

Student-led and a division of Taylor World Outreach, TCA puts together min-
istry teams for outreach to youth groups, churches, nursing homes and other
community arenas. Outreach teams include various forms of ministry, such as
vocal ensembles, a group of puppeteers and a drama team.

Freshman Matt Thomason, from the singing group His Glory, stated that
being in TCA "has been really fun, and I've enjoyed it a lot. It's a good way for
us to minister to other churches and people and share what God has given us."

Flipping through the channels, you stop at Channel 7 and see familiar faces reporting
Taylor news. At Airband you laugh at the "Real World" videos. In chapel, you see stu-
dents behind video cameras, capturing the chapel speaker on video.

Who does all of this and why? TCS, Taylor Cable Service, does it because its mem-
bers love producing television and videos.

"I can't not be involved," TCS station manager, Joylane Bartron, said.

"TCS is a great opportunity to learn about the television field and gain practical expe-
rience that will help me in the future," TCS member Justin McLaughlin said.

TCS is Taylor's campus TV station. Many students are involved in managing, produc-
ing, editing and reporting for the station. Bruce Johnson, a mass communications profes-
sor, has been the station's sponsor for two years.

This year TCS focused on its news program called Frontline News. This program fea-
tures mostly Taylor news, but off-campus news is reported when it relates to students.

The station has been involved inore than ever this year in campus video productions.
It produced all of the "Real World" videos for Airband this fall. That project alone took
over 150 hours of students' time. The station also produced videos for 90s Night,
Nostalgia Night and Youth Conference. TCS also covers home football and basketball
games, and it has shown a series of educational films.

Off-campus, TCS has had opportunities to produce videos, as well. The First Church
of God East Central Indiana in Muncie asked TCS to produce a promotional video for its
choir. TCS also created a video of the Upland Labor Day Parade, which was sold to
community residents.

Taylor students often see cameras set up in chapel or at special events. Behind those
cameras are TCS members who are involved, not because of the money or the recogni-
tion, but because they love it. Many students are involved because they want experience
for their future careers. Students do not have to be mass communication majors to partic-
ipate. All students are welcome to be a part of TCS, even if they have no previous
experience.

According to Bartron, Channel 7 is designed to meet the needs of students while pro-
ducing quality TV.

a trip to remember

Legs turned to Jell-0 as 63 PAs pedaled their
bikes exhaustedly into the church outside of
Mackinaw Island, Mich. The two-day trip from
Upland to Mackinaw had been completed with
a grueling 60-mile bike ride, a traditional rite of
passage into a year of service as a PA. The ride,
meant to uniquely bond the PAs together, did
just that, according to Jackie Timm, Second
West Olson PA.

■'Going 60 miles on those bikes really brings
you together," she says. "Accomplishing that
challenge together and the encouragement you
get from each other is so bonding. I met so
many amazing people that I wouldn't have got-
ten to know if I'd have had to make the initia-
tive myself

The rewards far outweighed the costs for this
trip. The tight bus that carted the leaders to
Michigan turned into a place where the bonds
of friendship were first woven. "We hardly
knew each other, but we got to know each other
because we were in such close quarters. We
just talked and talked," Timm says.

After the long bike ride, the day that the PAs
spent on the island was a treat worth the work.
"It was so gorgeous," Timm says. "There was
a seven-mile bike trail all around the island.

and there were rocks and beaches. It was a
great time to regroup with your friends, too."
In the evening, the students took time out to
worship with each other and start the year off
with some time with God.

The trip stressed the importance of teamwork
and the support one can receive through simple
encouragement from friends. "There is some-
thing about seeing another PA across campus
that is so encouraging. It's hard to know what
it's like to be a PA unless you are one, so see-
ing a familiar face is so nice," Timm says. And
the Mackinaw bike trip is where those faces
started to become familiar.

"The bike trip really brings people together,"
Timm says. "There are 63 PAs from all over
campus who would never know each other if it
weren't for this. It brings us together as a team
and as a group, building the support system for
going into the year. It helps us not be so
fragmented."

As the bus chugged to a start for the return
trek back to Upland, it was no longer full of
strangers cramped together in a tiny little space.
The vehicle was, instead, stuffed with 63
friends, ready to start the year refreshed and
challenged.

cross cultural ministry

Lighthouse teams go out each Januaiy to gain cross-cultural understanding
and experience, to promote interpersonal development, and to provide an
outreach ministry to those around the world. This year only two teams went
out because of the Y2K concern. The teams stayed on the North American
continent as they traveled to Mexico and Arizona.

Taylor students were able to impact many lives through their street evange-
lism, their work projects, their vacation Bible school programs and simply
their presence.

The Mexico team, led by Jeremy Diller and Tricia Taylor, traveled to
Reynosa their first week and ministered in an orphanage. There they led
vacation Bible school and spent time with the kids. The second week they
went to MataiTioros where they stayed at the Adventures In Missions (AIM)
base. While there, they served the community by building a house and lead-
ing a vacation Bible school. The third week they stayed in Hidalgo and visit-
ed different villages there. No churches were allowed in the villages that
were visited the third week, so the team's programs had a large impact on the
people. They worked at two churches pouring concrete floors. Taylor stu-
dents were able to show their compassion for the Mexican people in very
real and practical ways.

A member of the Mexico team had an English Bible the whole trip, but had
not given it away because she believed that God would lead her to give it to
a specific person. The last night of the trip, a woman came to a team mem-
ber, and asked, in Spanish, for an English Bible. It was obvious to the team
that God was at work through this experience.

The team was able to show God's love to the people just by being there.
Only a few on the team spoke Spanish well enough to communicate, but the
team's presence made a big impact on the people, in spite of the language
barrier.

The trip ministered to those in Mexico, as well as those who were part of
the team. The team's eyes were opened to a variety of things on the trip,
including how God works in people's lives and why the Mexican people need
God in their lives.

ReaLife. Andy's friend
lives in inner city Marion.

A college student stood with her fingers intertwined with a little girl from inner-
city Marion. They were singing "Jesus loves the little children, all the children of
the world, red and yellow, black and white," when the little girl began shouting,
"Black and white, black and white. Jesus loves black and white!" This little girl
was introduced to Jesus' unconditional love through a group of Taylor students that
volunteers time each week to minister to her and over 100 other inner-city children.

ReaLife is a ministry designed to help "build relationships with kids and, through
that relationship, show God's love," ReaLife student director. Jamie Otten, said.

About 30 Taylor students take five hours out of their day on either Tuesday or
Wednesday night each week to travel to Marion to participate in the program. The
evening consists of worship songs, games, a Bible lesson, a snack and discussion.
The Taylor students serve as small group leaders. They take turns teaching lessons
and always lead a small group discussion.

About 70 percent of the kids are from unchurched families, and many of the chil-
dren do not have a loving home. So ReaLife may be the only place where they
receive love.

Small group leader Molly Turner said, "Seeds are being planted. I have to realize
that I'm there to love them." This year there have been approximately eight chil-
dren saved, but many more have been introduced to Jesus' love.

Cheryl Olson, a ReaLife small group leader, said that ReaLife is a ministry
because it gives Taylor students the chance to reach out to kids by spending time
with them and modeling God's love through their actions.

ReaLife sponsors activities for the kids other than the weekly meetings. This
year they had a pool party and a pizza party. The annual Taylor Christmas Gift
drive is sponsored by ReaLife. This is an opportunity for Taylor students to give
something tangible to children in need.

Jamie Otten said of ReaLife, "I love it, and I've been blessed for the time I've
given."

sun, skis and servant leadership

What do prayer, cook-outs, mission
statements and water skis have in com-
mon? For the members of Taylor
Student Organization's Executive
Cabinet, these seemingly random words
represent four integral components of
their fall retreat.

On Aug. 27, the cabinet headed north
to Kendallville, Ind., for a weekend of
planning and playing at the lake cottage
of executive assistant Stephanie White's
grandmother. While there, the cabinet
spent much of its time in planning ses-
sions, formulating a mission statement
and identifying the organization's goals
for the 1999-2000 school year.

It was these meetings that really "set
the year off to a good start," according
to James Kutnow, student body presi-
dent. "We were able to determine our
objectives for the year and review our
individual responsibilities and duties,"
he asserts.

But the weekend wasn't strictly task-

oriented. Equally important was the
bond created among the cabinet mem-
bers around the grill and on the waters
of Witmer Lake.

Wliite believes the weekend was espe-
cially important because it gave the cab-
inet "a chance to hang out and have fiin.
... We were able to establish the friend-
ships that have continued throughout the
year."

Whether it was by praying for the stu-
dent body or helping student union coor-
dinator Jeff Huitsing search for the wave
runner keys he dropped in the lake, the
weekend retreat facilitated a sense of
unity among the group. And this unity
continued through the entire course of
the year. Jaillene Erickson, vice presi-
dent of leadership services, agrees that
the retreat set the pace for the year. She
believes, "It united us as a real team. We
could relate better and come together in
pursuit of the same goals."

Coinless laundry. Fall break. No classes on Martin Luther King
Jr. Day. Some of the nice perks of being part of the Taylor com-
munity. If you enjoy any of these, thank your nearest Taylor sen-
ator.

"We're trying to be more public this year," says senior Taylor
Senate chairman Steve Klipp, "In previous years. Senate has typ-
ically done the outside dirty work."

But not this year. Klipp says that his group of 17 senators is
trying to be more available and open about what it is doing this
year.

Senate is composed of one representative per 100 residents.
Students mn for office in the spring, with each resident hall vot-
ing for his or her choice of senators. The group then meets every
week the following year and fonns various committees to over-
see special projects and proposals for Taylor's campus and sm-
dent body.

Once an issue is proposed, the group researches it and attempts
to gain faculty and staff support. If it is passed, student body
president James Kutnow is the first to review it and may either
veto or pass it. President Jay Kesler is ultimately the last in line
to approve it.

Senate secretary and senior Torrey Barger says they had a great
group of senators working hard this year. "If you want anything
done, go to your senators! "' she remarks.

Sophomore Lindsay Thomas says her time on Senate was a
rewarding experience. She says, "It's a great way to meet people
and work with TSO ... I want to be involved."

the link between

... and the woman behind it

Junior LaTonya Taylor has played a major role
in the publication "The Link Between" since her
freshman year. And she does not plan to stop now.

"The Link Between" is a division of the multi-
cultural cabinet. It is published once a semester,
though Taylor anticipates making it more frequent
next year. About the purpose of the publication,
Taylor says, "What it comes down to is the impor-
tance of shared stories. A lot of times, rather than
focusing on specific issues, we just have people
share actual stories about their lives. These shared
stories are essential. That's my philosophy."

Taylor first became involved in "The Link
Between" her freshman year, when she was the
assistant editor. She says, "I got the job because of
my interest in writing and my interest in address-
ing important issues through the written word."

Last year and this year, Taylor has served as editor And she also
serves as her own staff. So, she writes and performs the lay-out for
the newsletter in the Education Technology Center But people are
welcome and encouraged to submit their ideas. Taylor, who will
probably return as editor next year, says, "Actually, we did have
some people contribute restaurant reviews and some personal
essays." She pauses and squints a bit. "They were very insightfiil,"
she says, nodding.

Taylor's favorite part of the job is working with others. She says,
"The best part is working with people and helping them share their
thoughts about what is important to them." Thinking of the worst
part of the job, though, was not as easy.

"The Link Between" is distributed in the residence halls, dining
commons and student union.

pre-med majors

realization of a dream

For many pre-med majors, getting
accepted to medical school after col-
lege graduation is the fijifillment of
a lifelong dream. Below, senior
Amber Bourne tells how this has
been true in her case.

Ever since I was in third grade,
I 've wanted to be a doctor You know
how you ask little kids what they
want to be when they grow up, and
get the typical "fireman, airplane
pilot, detective, doctor" response?
Well, mine went from being "cute "
to being reality! It just stuck — a
desire that God planted so young
and continued to nurture throughout
high school and the stereotypical
change-your-majoi -even -other-
week college years. I had an imme-
diate love for science and helping
people and fixing things. The MCAT
presented my first major challenge
to a lifelong dream. I couldn 't have
done as well as I did without the

continual encouragement and prayer
support of my family, friends and
professors.

I know that God was with me, and
he is faithful to complete the work
that He's called us to if only we sup-
ply Him with a willing heart. My
favorite verse has always been
Proverbs 3:5.6, "Trust in the Lord
with all your heart, and lean not on
your own understanding. In all your
ways ackfwwledge Him. and He will
make your paths straight. "

After taking the MCAT .spring of
my Junior year I applied for early
admission at Indiana University
over the summer My inten'iew was
with two physicians on the admis-
sions committee who would present
my application before the board, and
it could not have been more comfort-
able or encouraging. God truly
blessed it. I received my letter of
acceptance on Oct. 1. 1999. I still

remember opening it at the post
office and the hugs and cheers from
friends who had shared in each step
of the process through their love and
prayers. It was a truly joyous
occasion!

I will begin classes at the
Bloomington campus in August of
2000: gross anatomy, physiology,
biochemistiy, histology, microbiolo-
gy and doctor/patient relationship.
God has continued his faithfulness
in providing a roommate, an apart-
ment and even the added blessing of
Christian friends. I know that many
more challenges lay in store, but
continue to place my trust in Him
who has guided each step up to this
point. I'm so veiy thankful for my
Taylor education and the people of
this community who have been such
an integral part of God's plan in
shaping my life and helping me to
realize the dreams He has for me.

aum

and applied his research and grant writing knowl-
edge to develop Taylor's science department and
its reputation. Nussbaum served as physics profes-
sor and department chair for 37 years. In 1965,
Taylor broke ground for its cun-ent science center,
which bears Nussbaum "s name.

A recipient of the Legion of Honor, the highest

them, as the building bearing his name will contin-
ue to house the second home of Taylor science
